After the tropical cyclone Lion Rock "raid" last week, another tropical cyclone "Compasses" is also ready to strike.
In view of the heavy rain last Friday (9th) at school and after school, many students became "fucked". The Education Bureau today (11th) issued a document to parents mentioning school arrangements under inclement weather.
According to the article, the situation in some areas may be different from the overall situation in Hong Kong, and even emergencies should be dealt with flexibly according to the prevailing circumstances. It emphasizes that the Education Bureau notice stated that parents can decide whether to let their children go to school in accordance with the weather conditions. The weather, roads, slopes or traffic conditions are bad. To ensure the safety of their children, parents should allow them to stay at home.
For students who are affected by inclement weather or flooding and who are late or are absent from school on the day determined by their parents, the school will deal with them at its discretion and will not penalize them.

The Education Bureau today uploaded a parent e-post entitled "Should children go to school under inclement weather?" The article mentioned that when inclement weather may affect the safety of students, they will maintain close contact with the Observatory.
In the event of a tropical cyclone or continuous heavy rain affecting Hong Kong, the Bureau will use the media, the Education Bureau’s website, the Education Bureau’s enquiry hotline (Tel: 2891 0088) and GovHK to announce the schools at the corresponding time of day based on the latest information provided by the Hong Kong Observatory. Class suspension arrangements, parents are urged to pay close attention to the announcement of the above channels to understand the latest arrangements.
According to the bureau, regarding severe weather, including tropical cyclone warning signal No. 3 or above or red/black rainstorm warning signal, as well as other abnormal weather conditions, the Education Bureau has established a notification mechanism with the Observatory and has issued a notice to notify schools of encounters. Relevant arrangements should be adopted in severe weather such as tropical cyclones and continuous heavy rain.
The Education Bureau also reiterated that when the red or black rainstorm warning signal has been issued, the school that is in class should continue to attend classes until the normal end of school hours; the school must be safe before allowing students to go home.
Parents do not need to rush to school to pick up their children home.
