DEC questioned on school closures

Should strong winds stop schooling?

Decisions on school closures will be a topic of discussion in Keys next week.

Former teacher and current MHK for Arbory, Castletown and Malew, Jason Moorhouse, will ask the education minister what determines if schools should close in periods of exceptional weather.

It comes in a week where strong winds have reached up to 80mph.

Schools in the Isle of Man remained open despite Storm Ophelia, however, which blew more than 130 trees down onto Island roads.
