Canceling school is not necessarily something that the school district prefers to do, it's more something they try to avoid for it can cut funding and cause loss of money. Usually, the wind chill must get the temp down to -50 degrees or so in order for school to cancel but sometimes they push it further into the 60's because their may not be many other threatening conditions such as snow or ice-covered roads. If there is precipitation (snow) with the cold temps, it tends to drift all over and freeze on roads which can be dangerous and actually quite deadly for travelers and any type of transportation.

Even without much snow, -50 degrees with the wind chill can be cold enough to literally give a person full-body frost bite within a matter of minutes, even seconds... that can also happen in temps as low as simply, say, -2 degrees. It's all up to the school district and whether they think it's fully necessary in order to keep everyone safe... they don't wanna be sued, either, for sending kids to school and have them get frost bite... that'd be no good! ;)

Schools in Minnesota typically close when the wind chill is below -35 degrees Fahrenheit, as it can be dangerous for students to be outside in such extreme cold conditions. The actual temperature at which school will be canceled can vary depending on the district's policies.

Is it possible to cancel a school day?

You can but with lots of materials. You can do it by making lots of fake snow and throwing it at all of the school doors so they will have to cancel school. Another is if you are a builder or if your friend is and they can do something to the road to school so they can cancel school.
