Icy Forecast Prompts Delayed Opening Jan. 17 For Brick Schools
Frigid temperatures are expected to make surfaces very slick in the morning, the National Weather Service said.
BRICK, NJ — Frigid temperatures that are expected to create icy conditions well into the morning commute have prompted a delayed opening again Wednesday for the Brick Township School District.
"Due to anticipated hazardous road conditions and icing in AM, Brick Schools will operate on a delayed opening schedule Wednesday, January 17th. This early notification is out of an abundance of caution and safety concerns, allowing parents/guardians to plan accordingly," the district announced.
The delayed opening means there will be no before-school care through the BEST program.
