All Public Schools will be Closed on Friday
Due to the expected arrival of Tropical Storm Tammy, all public learning institutions will be closed on Friday October 20th, 2023.
The Director of Education, Clare Browne, has made this decision to ensure that proper preventative measures can be taken on school grounds. Additionally, many of the schools serve as storm shelters.
As a result, all faculty and ancillary staff are requested to report to work to assist with the preparation process. It is understood that there will be an early departure, as directed by the principals, to allow staff to make their personal preparations.
The Director also recommends that private schools take the same precautions.
