Atco-Beacon Severe Weather Procedure

Here is a quick reminder of our procedures for winter weather conditions! To keep informed of unusual circumstances, it is recommended that one of the following radio stations be listened to during the hours of 6 a.m. – 8:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. – 4:30 p.m.

• WAIS- 770 AM
• WATH- 970 AM
• WOUB- 1340 AM

If ACBDD announces a two-hour delay for the Beacon buses, Atco will remain open and on the regular schedule unless Athens County declares a Level 3 Emergency.

All Beacon buses will follow Beacon School Announcements regarding open/close and or delay status. If Beacon closes, no buses will run and Atco consumers may not arrive at Atco until 9:00am if individual transportation is provided, both ways. If a Level 3 does not exist, the shuttle will run on regular schedule if possible and provide the usual Community Employment transpor-tation for individuals who live within 5 miles of Athens. Remember when the roads are bad we may arrive a little late, please be patient with us.

If Beacon school is open, all classes will begin on schedule unless a delay is announced. All early dismissals will be announced by the Superintendent or the Transportation Director.
