Should Burlington close school tomorrow?

As of the posting of this article there has been no word from the Burlington School Department on whether there will be classes on Monday.

The main roads are cleared and many of the secondary roads are reportedly mostly clear, though there are also reports that some areas of town still have some roads in need of a plow.

The other concern is that the many sidewalks and bus stops have not been cleared, which could post dangers to students walking to school or waiting for the bus.

"Roads are good but sidewalks are not cleared. Hate to see kids walking to bus stops in the middle of Bedford and FW Roads in the morning ...hope they call off school like the other towns!"

Another reader said:

"Checked out my son's bus stop and there is no place to stand. Standing in the street looks dangerous since the road is narrow and only one car can get by."

Other area towns, including Woburn and Winchester have closed schools for similar reasons.
