Brookland Elementary School won’t be reopening until after the March Break.

Repairs are being made to the school after the Thanksgiving flood.  Students were moved to either Harbourside Elementary or Shipyard Elementary.  The move back into Brookland has been delayed because teachers need time to back up their classrooms and move everything.  That has been delayed because of the storms and the teachers contract dispute.

So the move back to Brookland has been delayed until March 21.
