Alexandra School is closed for the day due to flooding, according to Barbados’ Ministry of Education Transformation. The ministry says the decision is made to protect students and staff after flooding affects the school.
Other schools across Barbados remain open, the sources report. Barbados Today and Nation News both state that the closure applies only to Alexandra School while normal operations continue elsewhere.
Nation News adds that Chief Education Officer Dr Ramona Archer-Bradshaw consults with the Director of the Barbados Meteorological Services, Sabu Best, before finalizing the decision. Across the reports, the emphasis is on safety and the localized impact of flooding rather than a wider disruption to schooling across the island.
