Whenever the likelihood of inclement weather (ice or snow) exists, school administrators maintain close contact with the city police, the highway department, the North Carolina Highway Patrol, the Scotland County Sheriff's Department and officials from surrounding school districts.
The decision to cancel school or open school later than normal is made as early as possible. Such decisions are generally made by 6:00 a.m. and our local media are immediately notified. The decision is made by the Superintendent. Information concerning school operation in inclement weather will be announced on the following stations. (Local radio stations are always notified first.)

WEWO, Laurinburg (1460 AM) TV
WLNC, Laurinburg (1300 AM) Channel 13, Florence
WZFX, Fayetteville (99.1 FM) Channel 11, Durham

In addition to announcements by the local media, information regarding school closing or delays can be found on our website. www.scsnc.org. A telephone notification system will be used to contact parents at their home with pertinent school information such as weather related closings and delays.
Because telephone lines are crucial during these times, parents and students are urged not to call school, central office, or radio stations to ask about school closing. If no public media announcement is made, the assumption is that school is operating on a regular schedule.
