WPCNR THE POWER NEWS. By John F. Bailey. January 20, 2006: Portions of the Eastview area in White Plains are still without power.
The condition, the White Plains City School District reports, has necessitated the closing of Eastview Middle School Thursday and Friday, postponing New York State Assessment tests for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.
Michelle Schoenfeld, speaking for the school district told WPCNR that if power is returned to Eastview by Monday, and school is open, no tests will be administered on Monday.
Testing will be administered on Tuesday and Wednesday for 7th & 8th graders, Schoenfeld said. Tests will be given Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for 6th grade students.
The two days of closure have affected approximately 450 6th, 7th and 8th graders plus three kindergarten classes, and the Newcomers Center, which have not been in session, requiring parents to restructure their general day management.
