Other districts, such as Dayton Public Schools, are closing. Others still, such as Clark Shawnee Schools in Springfield, are dismissing students early.
Some superintendents want to avoid the difficulty of early dismissal.
“Dismissing early is very tough simply because of the pick-up routine," said Miamisburg Superintendent David Vail, noting that he prefers to cancel school altogether.
He sat down as early as Monday with other superintendents in cities such as Centerville and Kettering to make a decision.
Another decision school officials will be forced to make will come if the conditions become too harsh to let students leave after the last bell.
Vail said it's always a possibility.
“We’ve got the kitchens. We’ve got the food,” he said. “Certainly for the safety of the kids, not putting anybody on the road, we’d do what we had to do to harbor them in the buildings.”
