Website terms outline

Useful local information, with sensible boundaries.

These draft terms describe the intended role of the publication and the responsibilities that come with using it. They should be reviewed and approved before the final public launch.

Informational purpose

News, forecasts, closings, openings and event details are provided for general information. Conditions and plans can change quickly; readers should verify critical information with the responsible official source.

Emergency information

The website is not an emergency alerting system. Readers should follow official National Weather Service products, local emergency management instructions, NOAA Weather Radio and 911 guidance.

Community submissions

People who submit tips, photos or video should own the material or have permission to share it. Submissions may be edited for clarity, length, safety and accuracy.

Advertising

Advertisements and sponsored content should be labeled. The presence of an advertisement does not automatically constitute an editorial endorsement.

External services

The site may link to government, social, mapping, analytics, email and advertising services. Those services operate under their own terms and policies.

Changes and contact

These terms may be updated as the publication adds services. Questions can be sent to ohioschoolclosings@outlook.com.

Ready for the next step

Built to launch when the owner says go.
