Blind Brook – Spring Break 2024 Message
Dear Members of the Blind Brook Community,
Spring has officially started! The passing of the vernal equinox on March 19th marked the transition from winter into spring. Spring is the season of hope and renewal. I am hopeful that, as we approach the end of the school year, we can resolve the challenges that we face and continue to work together to improve our schools.
There are a few quick items that I want to update the community on:
- The April 1st (revised) Board of Education meeting will have an update on the proposed budget for 2024-2025. As of now the budget is tax cap compliant although we continue to review and refine it.
- There seems to be some confusion around snow days based on the feedback that we have received from the email that went out to the community. Schools were closed on January 16th and February 13th due to weather conditions. This leaves one unused snow day which will give us May 24th as an extra day off around Memorial Day.
I wish everyone a restful and enjoyable spring break! I hope that our students and staff enjoy the week off and get ready for the last leg of this year’s educational journey. Have a great break and happy holidays to everyone who is celebrating this coming week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Colin M. Byrne
Superintendent of Schools
