Campus Closure Decision & Continuity Form

When weather emergencies, public health crises, or safety threats arise, educational institutions need a clear, documented process for making campus closure decisions quickly while ensuring student safety and academic continuity. This Campus Closure Decision & Continuity Form provides schools, colleges, and universities with a structured framework to assess the situation, coordinate leadership responses, and implement comprehensive communication plans.

Built for school administrators, crisis management teams, and educational leadership, this template helps you document critical decision-making factors including weather conditions, facility status, transportation safety, student welfare considerations, and academic impact assessments. The form guides your team through evaluating whether to close campus, delay opening, switch to remote learning, or implement modified schedules.

Beyond the immediate closure decision, this form supports academic continuity planning by capturing how instruction will continue, how students and families will be notified, and what resources teachers need to maintain learning during disruptions. Whether you're a K-12 district navigating snow days, a university responding to a public health emergency, or a private school managing facility issues, this template ensures consistent, documented decision-making that prioritizes safety while minimizing educational disruption.

Paperform makes it easy to customize this template for your institution's specific protocols and stakeholders. Use conditional logic to show different sections based on closure type or severity level, and connect the form to Stepper (stepper.io) to automatically trigger your communication workflows—sending notifications to parents via email or SMS, alerting faculty to remote learning protocols, and updating your website status page. With Paperform's professional design options, your crisis response forms match your institution's brand while delivering the clarity and speed essential during emergencies.

This template is trusted by educational administrators who need rapid, coordinated responses during critical situations while maintaining detailed records for board reporting, insurance purposes, and continuous improvement of emergency protocols.
