Snowstorm Could Disrupt East Brunswick School Reopening

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — East Brunswick School District may have to postpone reopen for in-person learning Monday due to the upcoming winter storm, superintendent Victor Valeski said Friday.

A winter storm that was supposed to bypass New Jersey is now on track to directly hit the Garden State, leaving 6 to 8 inches in its wake.

The National Weather Service said that a winter storm is supposed to hit New Jersey late Saturday night and last until Sunday afternoon.

Valeski said the school district was preparing for the reopening, but at the same time is monitoring the storm.

“We are still planning to open schools Monday. However, any call I make to the community, regarding this storm and its potential impact on us, may come as late as Sunday evening,” said Valeski.

“I will wait until I have the latest and most accurate information on snowfall and the time needed for its removal, as well as ensuring all our sites can be made safe for students and staff,” he said.

The winter storm comes in the heels of a nor'easter that left 35 inches of snow in some parts of New Jersey.
