Town of Verona Weekly Update January 8 2024

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

Town Hall offices will be closed when the Verona Area School District is closed.  VASD policies are as follows:

Snow Day Decision Making

During snow events, a VASD team including a bus company representative drives roads throughout the district to assess driving conditions beginning at 4:00 AM. We are in contact with the National Weather Service and a local meteorologist for real time information on current and predicted local and regional weather conditions. Superintendents in multiple area school districts consult regarding weather conditions in their areas and factors influencing their decisions (e.g., bus route terrain). We strive to make an informed decision about delaying or closing school due to weather as soon as possible either the night before an anticipated weather event or early in the morning by 5:45 AM - 6:00 AM.

Wind Chill Warning

VASD will close for the day if the National Weather Service issues a wind chill warning (-35 degrees ℉ sustained). We will consider a delayed start if the warning is anticipated to be lifted in the mid-morning hours. 

Town of Verona Snow Removal - Town Roads will be plowed tomorrow when it is considered safe for our drivers to be out on the road.
