Determination
Procedures For School Closings
When
severe weather occurs causing hazardous driving conditions
or cold weather curtails heating fuel consumption or any other
conditions exist which might delay the opening of school or
cause the schools to be closed, parents and students are to
be advised to listen to radio or television stations for current
news reports.
Several
factors are considered before a decision is made to close
school, delay the opening of school, or dismiss school
early. The primary factors are:
- The
health, safety and welfare of the student
- The
transportation of the student from home to school and
back
- The
disruption caused in the home when school starts late,
dismisses early or is closed.
The
decision to close the schools or to change the starting
or ending time is made by the Superintendent on the day
in question. The radio and television stations listed
below are notified by the Director of Communications
if there will be any changes in the normal operating
procedures of the district. No announcements will be
made when the schools will remain open with their regularly
scheduled hours.
Attempts
will be made to contact all the radio and television
stations; however, the following will definitely make
spot announcements concerning Pearland schools closing
or time changes.
In addition, the district Website will be updated by 5 a.m. if classes are to be cancelled. The district will also use the automated telephone system (Connect-ED) to notify families and staff members of school cancellation.

Child Identification
for Special Education
The
philosophy of Pearland ISD's Child Identification program
is to provide a free appropriate public education to all qualifying
individuals with disabilities, ages 3-21, who live in the district.
This program is accomplished by locating and referring individuals
with disabilities, ages 0-21, in a way that promotes collaboration
and cooperation among state, regional, and local agencies as well
as the community at large. As part of its "Child Find" initiative,
Pearland ISD's Office of Special Programs welcomes questions concerning
special education or early intervention services. For information
about those services, please call 281-485-3203, ext. 11144 or click
