我们描述了美国在非大流行期间连续两个学年的计划外学校关闭(USC)的特点，以提供在大流行期间实施学校关闭的背景。从2011年8月1日到2013年6月30日，对公开宣布的持续≥1天的USC进行了每日系统的互联网搜索。记录了关闭的原因和关闭日期。有关学校特点的信息来自国家教育统计中心。在为期两年的研究期间，确认了20,723名USC，影响了27,066,426名学生。关闭的常见原因包括天气(79%)、自然灾害(14%)和校舍或公用事业问题(4%)。仅有771例(4%)USCs能持续≥4个上学日。疾病是212名(1%)USC的死因；其中126名(59%)与呼吸道疾病有关，并显示出季节性变化，高峰出现在2012年2月和2013年1月。USCS是导致数百万学生缺课的常见事件。与天气和自然灾害相比，疾病导致的USC很少。很少有社区有因病长时间关闭的经验。
We describe characteristics of unplanned school closures (USCs) in the United States over two consecutive academic years during a non-pandemic period to provide context for implementation of school closures during a pandemic. From August 1, 2011 through June 30, 2013, daily systematic internet searches were conducted for publicly announced USCs lasting ≥1 day. The reason for closure and the closure dates were recorded. Information on school characteristics was obtained from the National Center for Education Statistics. During the two-year study period, 20,723 USCs were identified affecting 27,066,426 students. Common causes of closure included weather (79%), natural disasters (14%), and problems with school buildings or utilities (4%). Only 771 (4%) USCs lasted ≥4 school days. Illness was the cause of 212 (1%) USCs; of these, 126 (59%) were related to respiratory illnesses and showed seasonal variation with peaks in February 2012 and January 2013. USCs are common events resulting in missed school days for millions of students. Illness causes few USCs compared with weather and natural disasters. Few communities have experience with prolonged closures for illness.
