Weekend storm forces Dundalk schools to stay closed on Monday

Two schools in Dundalk are staying closed on Monday due to the freezing rain over the weekend.

Students at Dundalk and Proton Community School and Highpoint Community School are getting an extra day off.

The Bluewater District School Board explained they're doing this because these schools remain without power and a lot of debris from the storm still needs to be cleaned up.

Each school is expected to reopen on Tuesday.
