Title
C26 - Perry Weather Outdoor Warning System: Weather Stations
Description

Perry Weather System is a weather system/station that provides a mobile application for district and school based administrators, coaches, trainers, and P.E. teachers. Weather situations can be monitored in real time allowing staff to make informed decisions on current weather conditions in order to keep students, staff, and visitors safe. 

Implementing an onsite weather station system offers numerous advantages by enhancing safety and operation efficiency.  Real time weather data allows administrators to make informed decisions about outdoor activities, including dismissal, class changes, and after school activities including sporting and club events.  Responsiveness to weather conditions not only safeguards students and staff from potential hazards such as lightning, extreme heat, or severe storms but also minimizes disruptions to the school schedule.  Having reliable weather data can significantly reduce liability concerns, providing documented evidence of prudent actions taken in response to adverse weather.
