Question 3

How much snow does it take to cancel HDSB schools?

Accepted Answer

Based on historical HDSB closure data, schools have been cancelled with as little as 10cm of snow when combined with other factors like poor visibility, high winds, or extreme cold. Generally, 15cm+ of snowfall, especially during morning hours, significantly increases closure probability. The decision considers: timing of snowfall, intensity, temperature, wind chill, road conditions, and municipal plowing capacity.

Does HDSB close when HCDSB closes?

Accepted Answer

Not always. HDSB (Halton District School Board) and HCDSB (Halton Catholic District School Board) make independent closure decisions. However, both boards use Halton Student Transportation Services (HSTS), so if buses are cancelled, both boards are typically affected. Always check your specific board's announcement.
