Schools to close on Friday, marking fifth day of closures

Freetown-Lakeville and Middleboro public schools will close on Friday, Feb. 27, due to safety hazards and poor road conditions following the Monday blizzard. 

Both districts have announced classes and all before and after school events will not occur, as 3 feet of snow has fallen in the Middleboro and Lakeville area. Both towns are still working to address snow removal and the related safety concerns for travel.

Friday is the fifth day in a row schools have been cancelled.
