Chancellor Klein issued the below statement this morning. It is our policy to follow the New York City Department of Education school closing decisions. Therefore there will be no high school or elementary school classes, transportation, or extra curricular activities held at Hunter College Campus Schools, tomorrow Wednesday, February 10, 2010.

Chancellor Klein Announces Schools Closure Tomorrow:

“Due to anticipated inclement weather conditions, all New York City public schools will be closed tomorrow, February 10, 2010. All after-school activities, PSAL events, and all other events taking place in school buildings will also be cancelled. While travel conditions to school in the morning may not be difficult, the weather is expected to worsen as the day progresses, complicating dismissal. We are making this decision today to give parents as much time as possible to make alternative plans for tomorrow.”

Thank you for your cooperation. I hope you enjoy the snow.

Randy Collins,
HCCS Director
