When inclement weather is approaching, Mustang Public Schools Superintendent Karl Springer and Jim Burkey, director of bonds and construction, begin driving the district as early as 3 a.m., evaluating the conditions on Mustang's roads and bridges. By 5 a.m., they make a determination about cancelling school.

When school is cancelled early in the morning, parents will be receive a call from School Messenger, the district's automated calling system. School Messenger has the ability to phone every student's household within 20 minutes in the event of an emergency. Channels 4, 5, 9 and Fox are also contacted.

If inclement weather persists and classes for the following day are cancelled in the evening, we will contact Channels 4, 5, 9 and Fox with the cancellation notice. We will not send out a School Messenger call if classes are cancelled the night before.
