school closing

No school today

School closing refers to the cancellation of classes, typically due to weather, emergencies, or other disruptions.

Parents check for school closings when snow is forecast; local news stations scroll them across the screen.

The term also applies to permanent shutdowns: The school closing devastated the small town.

In real estate, a school closing is the finalization of a property sale for educational use.
