Students of Hempstead High School have been informed not to report to school on Tuesday due to a water main break that has closed down the campus, the district announced early Tuesday morning.
All administrators should report to school at 10 a.m. and all teachers and staff should report to school at 11 a.m., said a statement on the district’s website.
Julius Brown, acting Superintendent of the Hempstead School District, said in a statement: “Village of Hempstead officials notified the district of a water main break, which left the Hempstead High School Campus without any water.
“Officials advised us that the problem was being worked on but that the building would probably be without water for most of the school day. Therefore, we needed to cancel classes for the day.”
