    School Closure for Inclement Weather
    According to Idaho Code and District Policy, eleven (11) hours are allowed during a school year for emergency closures. Any time missed beyond the eleven hours must be made up, by adding additional minutes each day or day(s) as an extension of this current school year.

    The Middleton School Board and Administration’s first concern is for the safety of our students and staff when making a decision to close school for inclement/unsafe weather conditions or for other reasons. The decision to close our schools is taken very seriously, as we realize that it has wide-spread ramifications that range from: missing instruction time, parent scheduling of day-care, to continuing district-wide costs -- all when school is not in session.

    Parents always have the privilege of keeping their child at home, if they believe it is in the best interest of their child’s safety, even when Middleton School District has determined that our schools will remain open. These absences will be treated as an ‘excused’ absence, if the parent notifies the school of their child’s absence and will be counted as a part of the total absences for the nine-weeks, semester and year.

    The Superintendent or his designee will release information to Building Principals, Directors and Supervisors by 6 a.m. to inform them of our closure status due to inclement weather. Parents and students will receive their notification through the local media. Please listen to the radio or watch our local television stations, for updates during days of inclement weather.

    DELAYED START
    (This delayed start is only to be used as a last alternative)

    If the District has scheduled a delayed start, staff shall report as soon as safely possible. Classes would begin at 9:30 a.m. (one-hour+ delay) or 10:30 a.m. (two-hour+ delay). The number of hours school is to be delayed will be announced on as many radio and television stations as possible.

    The Coeur d'Alene Tribe contributed $2,000 to our Middleton students.

    The donation will be used for the School District's new start up Kindle e-Reader program for the three elementary schools.

    Middleton is hoping to expand its three elementary school libraries to include non-traditional books, or digital e-books, which can be downloaded from a computer or delivered digitally to students. It is anticipated that the e-Reader program will result in a significant savings to the School District down the road and also provide valuable exposure to new technology to Middleton’s students.

    We are very grateful for this generous and unexpected gift from the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. This unexpected contribution illustrates the Tribe’s ongoing support for teachers, students and education across the state. Ultimately, our students will be able to benefit from the Tribe’s giving spirit for years to come and we thank the Tribe for partnering with us to enrich education for our children.

    Chairman Chief Allan said of the donation, “The Coeur d’Alene Tribe has always valued education, which is why we have invested so heavily in educating our students. We recognize that education and the success of Idaho’s students is key to ensuring the continued success of our state. It is our hope that this donation will strengthen and enrich the learning experience of the students in the Middleton School District.”

    As part of their 1992 gaming compact with the State of Idaho, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe insisted on returning 5% of its net gaming revenues to education. Since then, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe has donated more than $17 million and counting to education, including this donation to the Middleton School District.
