No school Monday

All schools, public and private, will be closed tomorrow.
Attorney General Adriel Brathwaite made the annoucement earlier today.
He said Government has taken the decision as some of the schools are being used as storm shelters. He said the decision was tough but necessary.
 “We didn’t plan this event.  There are people who have been displaced now in the schools and the reality is, some schools also need a bit of a clean up.”
The Attorney General said that all of the planning agencies had to understand their role and organisation was critical.
“What we are trying to do is to coordinate that information from the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC), and make sure that everyone is not running over each other.  If you speak to most members of Parliament and Constituency Council personnel, they are on the ground,  and my concern is that if you have so many players on the ground, without everyone understanding who they are trying to assist, people can fall over each other and those who really should be helped may fall through the cracks,” he said.
