What Happened
NL Schools has announced that schools in the St. John’s metro region will reopen tomorrow, following a three-day closure due to significant snowfall. The decision was made after consultations with busing contractors and improvements in snow clearing efforts.
Why It Matters
The reopening is crucial for students and families who have been affected by the closures caused by over 100 cm of snow from two major storms. Education Minister Paul Dinn supported the decision to avoid a state of emergency, contrasting the current situation with the severe conditions experienced during the 2020 Snowmageddon.
What’s Next
Bus services will resume at their usual times, and NL Schools is urging parents to ensure their children do not play on snowbanks near bus stops or roads. Families are encouraged to remain patient and prioritize safety as they navigate the aftermath of the storms.
