School Bus Cancellations Today affect multiple district listings for Thursday, March 12, 2026 (ET). Near North Public, Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic, CSPNE and Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord have posted school bussing cancellations across a shared set of weather zones, while Tri-Board lists Coe Hill and Maynooth as closed because of power outages.
Near North Public, Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic and CSPNE: Confirmed zone cancellations for March 12, 2026 (ET)
Near North Public and Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic show school bussing cancelled in the Weather Zones that include West Nipissing, Trout Lake/Four Mile Lake, Redbridge/Thorne, Highway 11 North, East Parry Sound North, East Parry Sound South, North Bay, Mattawa, and Callander/Bonfield/East Ferris on Thursday, March 12, 2026 (ET). The same list of Weather Zones also appears under Le Conseil scolaire public du Nord-Est de l’Ontario (CSPNE) and Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord, creating an identical cancellation footprint across those French-language and English-language boards for that date.
School Bus Cancellations Today: Tri-Board closures tied to power outages in Coe Hill and Maynooth
Tri-Board has taken a different approach for March 12, 2026 (ET), closing Coe Hill and Maynooth schools specifically because of power outages. That detail separates Tri-Board from the boards listing broad weather-zone bussing cancellations. The context makes two clear drivers visible on the same day: weather-zone cancellation listings for Near North Public, CSPNE and Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord, and localized power-loss closures recorded by Tri-Board.
If cancellations in the listed Weather Zones continue… — scenario one; Should Tri-Board power outages spread or clear… — scenario two
If the current pattern of school bussing cancellations across West Nipissing, Trout Lake/Four Mile Lake, Redbridge/Thorne, Highway 11 North, East Parry Sound North, East Parry Sound South, North Bay, Mattawa, and Callander/Bonfield/East Ferris continues, the visible direction points toward a multi-board operational pause across those zones for Thursday, March 12, 2026 (ET). That would keep students in those weather zones without school bussing for the day and maintain identical cancellation footprints for Near North Public, Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic, CSPNE and Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord.
Should Tri-Board’s Coe Hill and Maynooth power outages spread beyond those communities, Tri-Board closures could expand and align more closely with the broader weather-zone cancellations seen elsewhere. Conversely, should the power outages at Coe Hill and Maynooth be resolved before the school day on Thursday, March 12, 2026 (ET), Tri-Board could lift those specific closures even while nearby boards maintain weather-zone bussing cancellations.
Based on the context, the two conditional scenarios are narrowly defined by the facts provided: the list of affected Weather Zones for the named boards, and Tri-Board’s explicit closure of Coe Hill and Maynooth due to power outages.
What the context does not resolve is precise school-board assignment for any individual address, because the source warns the school board boundaries map is a rough estimate and not guaranteed accurate. That limitation means families must rely on their board’s published cancellations and local confirmations rather than the map alone.
The next confirmed milestone in the context is the cancellations and closures information published for Thursday, March 12, 2026 (ET). For now, the clearest signals are the repeated Weather Zone list under Near North Public, Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic, CSPNE and Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord, and Tri-Board’s named closures of Coe Hill and Maynooth tied to power outages; those entries define the immediate direction of travel for school operations on that date.
