Closure decisions for Laura E Richards School are almost always made at the district level. If Rsu 11/Msad 11 Schools closes, this school closes with it — so the district-wide forecast is usually the number that matters (see the Rsu 11/Msad 11 Schools forecast).
Town districts sit between urban and rural conditions: main routes are usually cleared early, but outlying pickups can stay hazardous well past sunrise.
Maine averages about 72 inches of snow per year. Maine schools are well-equipped for snow but close for major nor'easters and dangerous wind chills below -30°F.
We score the live forecast at this location against the factors that drive closure calls: snowfall total and intensity, when the heaviest accumulation lands relative to the morning commute, ice and freezing rain, wind chill, and how confident the forecast models are. You get a probability for a full closure, a two-hour delay, and an early dismissal.
This is an independent forecast, not an official announcement. Confirm any closure with Rsu 11/Msad 11 Schools before acting on it.
