All public schools closed Wednesday
 |
All New York City public schools will be closed Wednesday, Feb. 10 due to “anticipated inclement weather,” states a press release from Chancellor Joel Klein issued today. After-school activities and PSAL events are also called off.
The announcement comes alongside a “Winter Storm Warning” issued by the National Weather Service that calls for “significant snowfall tonight into Wednesday night.” The warning will remain intact through Thursday evening. Schools will be open Thursday, pending further announcements from the Department of Education.
“We are making this decision today to give parents as much time as possible to make alternative plans for tomorrow,” states the release.

I really feel for parents who will not be able, even with a day’s notice, to make adequate child care arrangements for younger children, and who do not feel confident about leaving older children with special needs alone. Already I have spoken with many parents who will have to take a day off without pay to make sure their kids are cared for properly.
