Boston Public Schools Closed Thursday Due To Weather

BOSTON - Boston Mayor Marty Walsh has announced that Boston Public Schools will be closed on Thursday, January 8 due to the cold weather.

"Out of an abundance of caution we have decided to cancel school tomorrow due to extreme weather conditions," said Mayor Walsh. "Wind chill temperatures could drop below -20 during morning bus pick up and it is not worth the risk to our children and families."
