Most Brooklyn schools to open Monday, dozens not ready–Update
Mayor Bloomberg said this week that most of the city’s public schools would open Monday, but enormous logistical problems remain. Hurricane Sandy damaged roughly 170 school buildings, many housing multiple schools.
In Brooklyn, 43 schools were on an evolving list published by the Department of Education.
Update: Late Friday DOE published a list of damaged schools that will not open for school Monday. The list shows each impacted school with a temporary location, where the school will hold classes until its original building can be repaired. Students in these schools will not attend class on Monday, November 5 or Tuesday, November 6 (Election Day), but will attend class at their new temporary location on Wednesday, November 7. Teachers and staff will be reporting to the new locations Monday.
