The primary decision point for any potential closure is if sustained wind speeds exceed 35 mph. That is the threshold for OCPS buses to be safely on the roads.

OCPS will communicate all additional updates with families and employees through Connect Orange phone calls/emails/text messages, posts to OCPS social media pages and on ocps.net.
