Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and Boston Public Schools Superintendent Brenda Cassellius announced that Boston Public Schools will be closed Friday, due to the impending storm that is anticipated to drop several inches of snow in the area.
“Because of the snow that we are expected to see tomorrow morning during the commute, potentially coming down heavily at that time, Boston Public Schools will be closed tomorrow, Jan. 7. Guidance on school closures for future dates will be released soon,” Wu said Thursday.
Wu and Cassellius also posted the announcement on Twitter:
