A busted water main in Weston has put the kibosh on school for hundreds of students at Falcon Cove Middle School and Cypress Bay High School this Thursday. According to Local 10 News, Broward County Public Schools sent word of the closures Wednesday evening, with a promise of a swift fix by the Weston Public Works Department but not before disrupting the educational routine of many young Broward residents, the water main in question ruptured right by the high school on the eerily empty grounds of 18600 Vista Park Blvd.
The sudden schedule shake-up was relayed to staff and parents of the impacted schools, leaving them to rejigger their weekday plans at the last minute, with officials at Broward County Public Schools confirming the details of the class cancellations, as reported by WSVN.
City workers have their hands full with repairs, intent on having the water running and classes back in session by Friday, this according to NBC Miami; the hope is a mere one-day disruption will suffice—although the murmur among the locals questions the speed at which such civic mishaps can truly be rectified.
