Schools to open as normal

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

Schools will open as normal tomorrow - despite warnings of heavy snow set to hit the Island.

The Department of Education and Children says all schools and the college will remain open.

The decision was made after discussions with the Met Office, Isle of Man Constabulary and Department of Infrastructure.

Education bosses say they believe the worst of the snowfall will hit after school closing time.

The situation will continue to be reviewed this evening and tomorrow.
