Indian Lake Central School District

Due to today’s weather conditions and the forecast calling for worsening conditions this afternoon, Indian Lake Central School District will be closed today. The safety of our students, families, and staff is always our top priority, and traveling later in the day is expected to be especially hazardous.
Please note that there will be no BOCES programs running today.
Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe and warm.
