Snow Causes Early School Closures

The Yorktown Central School District will be on an early dismissal schedule on Tuesday.

A "light snow" is expected to blanket the Lower Hudson Valley Tuesday afternoon and evening, according to the National Weather Service.

The agency issued a special weather statement calling for a mix of snow and rain for Putnam, Rockland, Westchester and many of the surrounding counties. In the afternoon and evening, the precipitation is likely to change back to snow alone. 

"The snow should accumulate on area roadways, causing slippery conditions," the statement reads. 

Yorktown and Somers are looking at 2 to 4 inches during the day, and up to half an inch in the evening, before 8 p.m., according to NWS.

Local conditions Wednesday will likely include sunny skies and a high of about 40 degrees.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
