The health and safety of children are of paramount importance to local school superintendents.  Section 18-12, the School Code allows the use of interrupted School Days for "adverse weather conditions."  As a reminder, with regard to extreme heat, the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) allows for four options:

1. Amend the public-school calendar to start school at a later date

2. Dismiss after 5 clock-hours of instruction

   1. Instructional time is maximized

   2. Advance notice will be provided to allow parents to arrange for childcare

   3. School day does not have to be made up

3. Utilize an Emergency Day (no school for the entire district)

   1. Advance notice will be provided

   2. School day must be made up

4. Utilize an Interrupted Day (school may be dismissed after a minimum of one clock hour of instruction)

   1. Advance notice may be given to allow parents to arrange for childcare
