Weather:

In the event of snow or other inclement weather, Eaton RESA Administration will determine if the Career Preparation Center will be open. If classes are cancelled, it will be announced on TV (WLNS – TV 6, WILX – TV 10, WSYM FOX 47), associated websites (www.wlns.com, www.wilx.com, or www.fox47news.com) and radio (WJIM 97.5, WFMK 99.1, WJIM 1240 AM, WITL-FM 100.7 FM).   

In the event that a student’s home school is closed due to inclement weather but Eaton RESA Career Preparation Center is open, the student is not required to attend his/her Career Preparation Center program.  The absence will not be charged against the student’s attendance record.
