The decision to cancel or delay school Tuesday morning will likely not come until hours before school is scheduled to begin.
"I am waiting until later tonight to hear what Governor Patrick has to say," said Superintendent Dr. Christopher Martes. "In addition, I will be checking in with the poiice and fire chief to see what the power outage situation looks like."
Martes said the decision will be made by 6 a.m. Check this story again Tuesday morning for a comment from Martes on his final decision.
