School Closings: Williamson County's Emergency Procedures To Inform Parents

This article about schools always being closed in Williamson County remains a popular one here at The Fun Times Guide to Franklin.

It's clear that parents are searching for ways to find out about school closings -- especially at times when schools become closed at the last minute due to bad weather or some other emergency.

Okay parents, here's what you need to know...

With school being canceled as many as 10 days each year in Williamson County, this is definitely something that parents need to be aware of.

The key is keeping your phone numbers up-to-date at all times with the school district.

Franklin Life (the Franklin Tennessee newspaper) recently ran an article about Williamson County school closings. Here are some of the highlights:

This is the 3rd year in a row that Williamson County Schools have contacted parents by phone to notify them when schools will be closed due to bad weather. (I had no idea... then why are so many people still so curious to find school closings online?)

If school is going to be canceled the next day, they try to call by 9 p.m. But if that is not possible, they will call as early as 5:45 in the morning on the day that school is closed. (They will only call the main number the parent has on file with the school.)

On the other hand, if school is dismissed early for the day, parents will receive a phone call at all of the phone numbers that they currently have on file with the school.
