Parents need to follow school closings and delays for both the ALC and their home school districts. As a result of inclement weather, there may be occasions where an individual home school district has a delay or are closed with no buses running. When buses are not running and the ALC is open, parents may provide transportation for their child that day.

When the ALC is closed or delayed due to severe weather or emergency conditions, announcements will be made on local TV stations. The announcements will specifically state:

EDUCATIONAL SERVICE CENTER OF LAKE ERIE WEST (ALC) or ALC WEST

Stations reporting cancellations and/or delays are TV stations Channels 11, 13 and 24. The ESC will also post an announcement on their website.

If the home district is closed due to inclement weather, transportation will NOT be provided to the ALC. If the home district is delayed, the ALC transportation will be provided at the announced time (meaning if a 2 hr. delay then transportation will be 2 hrs. later than normal).
