Through Nixle.com, the New Castle Police department announced on Sunday that schools will be closed today, Monday, March 1, 2010:• Chappaqua Schools Will be Closed on Monday, March 1, 2010.
“Chappaqua School District in concurrence with Town of New Castle officials have closed schools on Monday, March 1, 2010. Many town roads remain hazardous with electric lines down and low hanging tree branches. School Officials and Town Officials agreed that the safety of the children riding on School Buses is the paramount concern.”
Chappaqua Board of Education President Jeffrey Mester explained, “The district, in conjunction with the town, believes that—with so many residents still without power, with many secondary roads being only one lane passable, with Con Ed, Cablevision and Verizon still needing to repair wires before town crews can clean up, with those wires posing a hazard to the buses, with snow days available—it is in the best interest of the children and community to keep schools closed for Monday. Classes will resume on Tuesday.”
