When the snow starts coming down parents are often waiting to hear word from the schools whether or not it is a snow day.

Ted Walk is the Superintendent of Sullivan Schools. He says inclement weather boils down to one thing, student safety.

Walk says there is a new component this year that they are hoping will help them keep the doors open and the students getting their education.

Walk appeared as a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show from the Metro Communications Building in downtown Sullivan.
