Lol clearly we have all forgotten last winter. If we had closed over this weather they wouldnt have gone to school literally for a month

Answer 2

Usually below zero to close I think. If it’s below thirty they won’t go outside for recess.  

Answer 3

Blizzard conditions, severe freezing temps - weather a school bus cannot operate safely in & unsafe temps in which bus riders cannot stand and wait for their bus. I’m sure school bus companies & superintendent have mutual agreement for when to close.  

Answer 4

They won’t close for this.  

Answer 5

At ‘hell freezing over’ they will consider closing

Answer 9

I remember walking my girl to school and it was below zero. I think they close if it's -25 . It's cold but not really that cold for Chicago (dp)

Answer 10

I believe it's always the wind chill that matters. -25 or close
