Pascagoula-Gautier School District logo above text about school closure decisions.

Following a recent weather event, we’ve received questions from families about what goes into decisions related to school closures, delays and operations during severe weather.

When inclement weather is possible, the Pascagoula-Gautier School District carefully reviews multiple factors before deciding whether to close school, delay the start of the day or adjust operations. Student and staff safety is always our top priority.

We know families want clarity and timely communication during uncertain weather conditions. That’s why we’ve shared more information about how decisions are made, who is involved, and how families are notified when weather impacts school operations.
