Brookline Ice Storm: Public Schools, Libraries Closed Friday

BROOKLINE, MA — Brookline Public Schools are closed Friday due to icy weather conditions, said Superintendent Linus Guillory.

The day will be treated as a traditional snow day with no instruction for students and will be made up at the end of the school year in June.

"The forecast calls for ice and freezing rain which will make travel very difficult,” said Guillory in an announcement. "After close consultation with the Brookline Department of Public Works, I have determined that the safest decision is to close schools."

The district will monitor the weather conditions throughout the day to determine whether scheduled high school sports and performing arts events, as well as any classes through Brookline Adult and Community Education, may proceed in the afternoon and evening. That information will be posted here by 12 p.m. Friday.

In addition, all branches of the Public Libraries of Brookline are closed Friday.

Over the course of this winter, all snow related alerts and information for Brookline will be posted here.
