The college is closed due to weather

Christopher Hurt presents the following, like your girlfriend, with limited commercial interruption:

“Here’s how to find out if the college is closed due to weather
As winter weather approaches, you can find out if the college is closed because of the weather in one of these ways:

• Call the main college number (913-469-8500). When the decision to close the college is made, the first step taken is to change the college’s main phone message to announce the closing. (Please remember that lots of calls will be coming into the switchboard, so it is not necessary to talk with the operator to confirm the recorded message.)

• The announcement will be posted on the home page of the college’s website, www.jccc.edu.

• Sign up to receive a text message about the closing by clicking on the “TXTJCCC” link at the bottom of the college’s home page (www.jccc.edu) and selecting “Campus Alerts.”

• The announcement will be posted on Twitter (you can follow the college at JCCCTweet) and on the college’s Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/jccc411).

• These TV stations have made arrangements to receive and announce closing notices: KMBC-TV 9, KSHB-TV 41, KCTV-TV 5, and WDAF-TV-4. Note that it can take several minutes for an announcement to appear on television.

• These radio stations also receive and announce notices: KCUR, KFKF, KBEQ, KMBZ, WDAF, KQRC, KUDL, KYYS, KXTR and KMXV. In addition, one station in Lawrence (KLZR) and Kansas Public Radio also communicate weather closings. Other radio stations do NOT have systems in place to collect information on school closings.

• If the decision to cancel classes is made during the day, the announcement will be posted on the digital signs, and faculty and staff will receive a message on InfoList.”

Thank you for your time.
