Why can’t I be given the evacuation and parent reunification locations ahead of time?

The school department does not release this type of specific information, pursuant to the Massachusetts Freedom of Information Act. This law provides specific exclusions to the type of information that can be released. Also, during emergency situations, circumstances could arise that might forces changes to previously designated locations. Parents and guardians will be informed of parent-student reunification center locations via the local media and through school resources.
