BAS Weather Policy
BAS Meetings held at the HCCA will not be held when the Howard County Public Schools are closed due to inclement weather. We will make our best effort to post a notice on the BAS Facebook page, update the BAS website, and send out an e-mail if the meeting is cancelled. When in doubt, please check with a Board member before leaving home (the Board members' contact information is available in the Member Resources Area). The Board's decision on closings will be made by 3:00 pm on the date in question.
