Here in Farmington, the superintendent tells us that she and other superintendents in Oakland County are planning to meet this morning to develop a game plan. The snow is not expected to hit until this afternoon. It will definitely make things harder for the evening run home.

Farmington Schools are certainly worried about it, but they also think of plans for tomorrow and beyond. We caught up with Farmington Schools Superintendent Dr. Kelly Coffin to find out how she handles things in her district and her possible plans for tomorrow.

“Oakland County has a process where Oakland County superintendents meet when there is a weather,” Dr. Coffin. “And we work with a meteorologist to try to get the most accurate information. I assume our weather calls will happen tomorrow morning. And it will give us better information. “

They also try to see how things will be at the end of the school day today.

Dr. Coffin said it is difficult to send students home early. But if the schedule of the snowfall moves up, she indicated that they will be in contact with families very quickly to warn them of changes.
