Schools Hold Classes Despite Snow

Public schools in Rhode Island planned to operate under normal schedules today in spite of the winter weather.

There are a couple minor exceptions. The Learning Community Charter School in Central Falls has canceled after school programs, and Blackstone Valley Prep will send students home early, with a noon dismissal scheduled.

Forecasters predict up to eight inches of snow will fall in Northern Rhode Island with the heaviest snowfall expected this evening and overnight. South County is bracing for three to six inches and heavy winds.
