– News about Quincy MA from Quincy Quarry News
Quincy parents already on edge await word as to when local schools might finally reopen in the wake of The Blizzard of 2015.
City officials have acknowledged that Department of Public Works as well as Park & Forestry personnel tasked to clear snow at local schools were not able to do so in time for schools to reopen on Friday, so leaving Quincy one of the few communities in Eastern Massachusetts with its schools still closed.

Knowing to expect that nothing would come of it, Quincy Quarry did not bother to reach out for comment from DPW Commissioner Dan “Spanky” Raymondi  or Park & Forestry Executive Director Chris Cassani as to why the schools were yet to be duly cleared of snow whereas City Hall entrances and parking spaces were cleared to the pavement before dawn on Wednesday last week when City Hall was closed  for Snow Day and before The Blizzard of 2015 had yet to have blown out to sea.
The Quarry also did not reach out to Quincy Police and surely but coincidentally mayoral brother-in-law Paul “The Beav” Keenan as what – if any – contingency plans he may have set in place to respond if already beyond merely on the edge parents go “Postal” if schools continue to stay closed.
Regardless, one cannot help but suspect that when local schools eventually reopen that chaos will likely result.

Reasons include that Quincy Quarry photography personnel have photographically documented an extensive album of concerns even without braving an exhaustive travails trudging the many “goat paths” that pass for residential streets in Quincy these days so as to comprehensively show just how bad things are throughout the whole of  the Quincy Public Schools system.
As such, the mind boggles as to how helicopter moms will react to often massive snow drifts-impaired access to school drop-off points, not to mention valid concerns that many will surely opt to walk their children to their schools’ front doors – if, that is, the entrances can actually be found – if not also deliver in the morning to their classrooms AND then pick them up from same at the end of the school day.
Regardless of how chaotic things are feared to become, Quincy Quarry’s devoted readers can count on it to continue covering this most horrific snowbound story since the Donner Party .
