As
you know, this morning’s commute ended up being worse than originally
forecasted. Based on information available to us early this morning at
4:30 when we need to make a decision (including real-time road
conditions and the forecast of the snow turning to rain) we decided not
to implement a 2-hour delay or cancel school. We had school plant crews
out early this morning to make sure parking lots were accessible and
building custodians worked on walkways. We were also in communication
with DPW about their plowing operations and road conditions. Most other
school districts in the area did not have a delay either (other than
Leicester that canceled and some communities south of Worcester).
The
road conditions did present challenges in spots for school buses to
reach certain locations, but not any different than other storms in the
past. There were no accidents involving any WPS or Durham school
buses this morning.
As
this was a difficult storm to forecast, it was also a difficult
decision to make this morning. Road conditions are reporting to be
improving for a normal release time this afternoon.
