SBEC does not follow city or county schools regarding closings due to inclement weather. Parents and students are to listen to local radio and television stations for announcements of school closings.  The stations are as follows:

Television Stations: FOX TV - Channel 13, WREG TV - Channel 3, and WMC TV - Channel 5, ABC - Channel 24

Radio Stations: WMC - AM 79, and FM 100, WREC - AM 60, WRVR - AM 68 and FM 104, WOGY - FM 94.1, and FM 106.

Should school be dismissed after students have arrived during the day, announcements will be made over the above stations as to dismissal time. Please do not call the school during business hours unless there is an emergency because it ties up the phone lines and office personnel.

Do not call or have your children call administrators, office personnel, or teachers at home. Decisions regarding closing are not normally made until late evening or early morning.

Please do not call the school office early in the day to find out if school will be in session the next day.  As soon as a decision is made, the radio and TV stations will be notified.
