Announcements

How will I know if school is closed or will be closing due to snow or other weather conditions?
While local radio and/or TV may report information, the most up-to-date and accurate information can be found on the Lenawee ISD homepage, social media channels, and through direct alerts to families as needed.

Transportation Phone Number: 
5:30PM to 6:30AM: (517) 265-1696
6:30AM to 5:30PM: (517) 265-1697

Procedures

A decision will be made as early as possible since many of our buses are scheduled to leave early in the morning. Letters regarding weather procedures will be sent to parents annually by the Transportation Department in October or November.

Snow, Ice, or Fog

• If 3 of the core schools and 1 other local district delay/close, we will follow their recommendation.

• If 2 of the core schools and 4 other local districts delay/close, we will follow their recommendation.

• Core schools in Lenawee County are: Adrian, Madison, Onsted and Tecumseh.

• LISD will close/delay the LISD TECH Center if ALL Lenawee County districts are closed/delayed.

• LISD buses will not operate in districts that closed or are running buses on emergency or alternate routes due to road conditions. (Other reasons may alter this situation).

• Unless otherwise noted, JC/LISD Academy and LISD PREP Academy operate on a one-hour delay instead of a two-hour delay due to their later start times.

Note: The final decision to close/delay LISD programs is at the discretion of the LISD Superintendent.

If your student rides a LISD bus but attends a program located in a school outside of your local district, there may be confusion regarding whether the bus will be coming. Mornings such as this are very hectic for the Transportation Department. Although it may take a while to get through, we welcome phone calls regarding individual student situations!

If you choose to bring your child to school from a district that is closed, you will be expected to provide transportation home as well.

Instant Alert System for Students and Families

Changes to the school calendar or school day due to rescheduled events, weather, emergencies, special activities and/or reminders for you and your student will also be available to you through the school’s Instant Alert System. The school’s Instant Alert system will call, text, and/or email you with information about these changes when they occur. All Lenawee County schools utilize the “Infinite Campus” Instant Alert System. Please be sure to update your Infinite Campus portal records, or contact your school district for support with any changes to your contact information.
