An early dismissal drill has been scheduled for the Ballston Spa Central School District on Thursday Friday, which means students will be released from school 15 minutes earlier than normal.
The state-mandated school early dismissal drill is part of an Emergency Management Plan to prepare for conditions such as severe weather or unexpected building problems (e.g. loss of power or heat) that would require the district to release students early. Under real emergency conditions, parents would be notified through radio and television stations and the School News Notifier System (register online at www.bscsd.org).
According the district officials, due to the fact that an emergency dismissal drill will be conducted, children may arrive home earlier or later than normal.
