The amount of snow that would cause schools to close varies in different areas. A northern area that is prepared to clear snow off the roads might not close schools at all unless several feet of snow fell, and maybe not even then. In areas that are not as well prepared, a few inches of snow might result in schools closing if road conditions were bad or expected to become slick and hazardous.
yes school CAN definitely close with 8 inches of snow
Snowfall amounts that cause schools to close depends on what area the school is in (northern or southern, city or country, etc.), whether roads become hazardous and other factors. While a few inches could cause schools to close in one area, another area might not close unless they got several feet.
In most areas, there are no guidelines for closing schools for hot weather and closing for that cause is unusual. Closing schools for hot weather would be determined by school administrators, who would likely only close schools if the heat caused a real health danger to students.
Usually schools do not close when it has only rained a couple inches. However, sustained rainfall of more than a couple inches could produce flooding in some areas of the School District. Or potential flooding could affect support services, such as bus drivers and cafeteria workers. School Boards will err on the side of caution if flooding is predicted.

It is possible, but not likely. New York is a northern state that is well prepared for much more snow than 1 to 2 inches. It would probably take much more snow than that for schools to need to close.
Generally 2-3 schools have a common center. They are the schools that are close to the center school.
yes,if one student has the swine flu in school they would have to close the whole school for a week and deinfect the whole school.
Perhaps but most schools close.
In the UK, it is chiefly up to your headteacher to decide, they look at how many staff can get in , conditions of roads and student safety. I'd say a good 4 inches of snow would be enough to temporarily close a school. In the US, the amount of snow it would take to close city schools would depend on where the city is located and how well they are prepared to deal with wintery weather conditions. Some cities do not close school for snow at all.
There is no maximum limit on the amount of snow that would cause schools to close in Scotland. Once enough snow fell and the roads were not safe, schools would close. More snow might mean that schools were closed for a longer period of time.
Most schools close for holidays.
