"Snow Days Are the Best Days." Exploring Teachers' and Administrators' Perceptions of Weather-Related School Disruptions
Brenton Button; Carson Ouellette; Gina Martin
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v70 n2 p353-361 2024
Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly common and have the potential to impact the school day. This study aimed to explore teachers' and administrators' perspectives on weather-related school closures. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten key informants and analyzed using content analysis. Informants took a strengths-based approach and discussed the benefits of weather-related disruptions for student mental health and planning time. However, informants did mention that if these days continued to rise, it might be a cause for concern. School boards need to begin monitoring the impact of weather events.
