Winter Inclement Weather Policy
When Carroll County Public Schools are closed or close early due to weather or other emergency conditions, all Carroll County Department of Recreation & Parks programs, which include Recreation Council Programs, are cancelled for that day with the exception of programs being held at private facilities or virtual programs/meetings. For weekend/non-school days, once the Snow Emergency Plan is in effect for Carroll County, no Recreation & Parks activities, which include Recreation Councils, can take place with the exception of programs being held at private facilities or virtual programs/meetings. Should the “Plan” be lifted any time during that day, all activities are still canceled for the remainder of that day.
