Welcome to the Affton Unplugged podcast, where Superintendent Travis Bracht delves into the intricate process of determining school snow days within the Affton School District. As weather can significantly disrupt school schedules, this episode offers insights on how weather forecasting, decision-making, and communication play pivotal roles in ensuring student safety.

In this episode, Superintendent Bracht examines three critical segments: monitoring the weather with data from the National Weather Service, making informed decisions about school closures, and effectively communicating these decisions to staff, parents, and the broader community.

Join us as we uncover the meticulous considerations superintendents face, from evaluating road safety to deciding between a traditional snow day or a virtual learning day, all while meeting state education requirements.

Tune in to gain a clearer understanding of the efforts behind every snow day decision and the commitment to safeguarding education within the Affton School District.
