Some school districts in the county will be re-opening tomorrow even though one or two of their schools are closed. We are not able to do so due to the large number of schools without power and the number of power lines that are down in our community.
The schools that do not have power include: Birchwood, Chestnut Grove (District Office), Lakewood, Link, Little Tor, New City, North High School, West Nyack and Woodglen.
