In listening to the weather forecast that states we have the possibility of inclement weather in the Western part of the state we will use the following criteria to cancel the exec bd meeting if necessary:

f the hosting region Prince Georges County (PGGRASC) has anything other than a normal opening the meeting will be cancelled.

If your school system is late or closed you should follow your county’s procedures on if students can still attend. If for some strange reason your county still allows students to travel I would urge you and them to use good judgment in making this decision. Your student’s safety is of most importance to me and to MASC.

On a personal note, I would not encourage young student drivers to venture out in the inclement weather since the roads can be hazardous and they do not have the experience of driving in these situations.

I will let you know about resceduling this event should inclement weather be a factor.
