Phish fan fears forces Monticello to close schools
BETHEL - Phish has closed Sullivan County’s largest school
district.
Monticello schools have decided to close Thursday and Friday
– the Friday date specifically to avoid problems on 17B when throngs of people
are anticipated for a three-day Phish festival at the Bethel Woods Center for
the Arts.
“We have kids in Bethel and we have lots of teachers and
staff,” Interim Superintendent Ed Rhine said. “We would have been adding to the
problem.”
Rhine said that the district was contractually obligated to
return two snow days and the Friday seemed like an obvious choice.
County officials are predicting at least 17,000 people at
the concerts and potentially thousands more during the Memorial Day weekend.
He said he met with the county and town officials, who are
predicting heavy traffic beginning Friday.
Rhine said the unions had no problem taking the days off.
