Disaster PlansEach school and administrative building has developed their own disaster and crisis plan that outlines how they would respond in an emergency situation. Parents are welcome to ask their school's principal to review it at any time. Employees should talk to their supervisor. The plans are not made available online to prevent possible threats from viewing it and using the information inappropriately. ASD is dedicated to providing a safe place to learn, work and visit. If you have questions, please contact the principal or our Safety & Emergency Preparedness Office: Safety & Emergency Preparedness

Emergency School Closure ProceduresProcedures for changes in normal operation and procedures for canceling bus transportation due to inclement weatherDownload printable version of Emergency Closure Procedures
|
| Please note: State regulations allow us to declare in-service and emergency closure days to be "days in session" up to a total of 10 per year. Eight of those days are used for in-service days leaving only two days for unexpected closures. Any additional closure that occurs after the exhaustion of those two days will require an adjustment to the school calendar in order to meet the statutory requirement for length of the school year. |
5. All district facilities closed: Emergency staff only report, including all facilities/maintenance staff. Designated emergency staff members have been identified at each school.
C. If the assistant superintendent for Support Services is unable to contact the superintendent, then the assistant superintendent and the director of Transportation will confer and make the decision.
D. All coordination should be completed by 4:30 a.m. The final decision for a change in normal operation will be made by the superintendent no later than 5 a.m. The superintendent will confirm any change in normal operation with the leadership team.
E. All closings or changes in normal operation are to be reported to radio and television stations in the Anchorage area by the executive director of Communications starting immediately after notification by the superintendent. Notification should be completed approximately 20-30 minutes after Communications is alerted. Public announcements should start no later than 5:30 a.m.
Update information will also be available on: |
F. If weather and road conditions change after 4:30 a.m. or during morning routes, Transportation department and contractor personnel will immediately notify the director of Transportation who will call the assistant superintendent for Support Services to report the status of bus operations and road conditions. The assistant superintendent will then call the superintendent. The new information will be analyzed and a decision made to delay the start of school or cancel classes at a school, a group of schools, or all schools. The updated information will be made available using the resources listed above.
G. The executive director of Human Resources will notify substitute dispatch and the AEA President. The assistant superintendent for Support Services will notify Student Nutrition of changes in normal operation.
Similar procedures are in effect on non-student days. The content of messages relayed over selected radio stations will be edited appropriately if changes in normal operation occur on an in-service day.
