Bedford Central Schools and Katonah-Lewisboro school will close Tues. Nov. 1 and K-L schools will remain closed until Thursday, according to district announcements Monday afternoon.

The K-L district also announced that they are making alternate arrangements for athletic activities. Check back on the on Patch or the district's website for information as it becomes available.

"The district is working in conjunction with the Town [of Lewisboro], advising residents to treat downed power lines as though they are live and to be cautious to stay out of harms way," said Paul Kreutzer, superintendent of K-L schools. "The town is also urging parents to avoid allowing their children to go trick-or-treating today because of the dangers caused by downed power lines, which are safety threats. The district hopes to collaborate with the Town and provide children with a future opportunity to celebrate Halloween once these current issues have been resolved."
