</B><LI>Santa Fe Public School s Superintendent, General Service Department, and Office of Public Information monitor weather reports regularly for the purpose of anticipating a delay, early release or a cancellation of school when conditions prevent the safe transportation of students. </LI>
<LI>If weather reports indicate a deterioration of conditions, General Service members actually drive the streets of Santa Fe. The areas they cover include the roads that buses must travel to pick up students. Their routes go from El Dorado to La Cienega to Tesuque. </LI>
<LI>After discussions and with input from stateas well as county and city road crews, the General Service Department makes a recommendation to the Superintendent. </LI>
<LI>The Superintendent, who has been monitoring the weather on the Weather Channel and local sources, makes the final decision between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.. </LI>
<LI>If a two-hour delay is decided, the Director of Public Information is called as soon as the decision is made. The Director calls local radio and television stations to notify them of the decision. If there is no one at the radio station, a message is left on the answer machine that is usually followed by actual contact later in the morning. </LI></UL>
