Martha’s Vineyard public schools will be closed on Tuesday as workers continue to clear snow from across the Island, the district announced Monday evening.
Superintendent Richard Smith made the decision to close school a second day out of concern for students who walk to school.
“Our DPW guys have done an amazing job on our roads,” he said. “My worry is our walkers as there are very few paths in.”
The Vineyard was blanketed with about a foot of snow on Sunday, and the Island spent much of Monday digging themselves out. Mr. Smith expected to have students return to classes on Wednesday after snow clearing finished up.
“The sidewalks will be addressed tomorrow and we should be OK for Wednesday,” he said. “Tough call but the right one.”
The Martha's Vineyard Public Charter School also announced that its school would be closed Tuesday because of the weather.
