The Virgin Islands Department of Education provides an important update regarding the status of the Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School. Following the Department’s announcement Sunday evening of the campus closure on Monday, October 27, 2025, due to a ruptured water line, the Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance and utility crews worked diligently through the night and into Monday to complete all necessary repairs.
Given the magnitude of the work required, the BSCM was initially unable to provide a definite timeline for completion. However, thanks to the coordinated efforts and around-the-clock commitment of all teams involved, VIDE and the BSCM are pleased to announce that the Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School will reopen for full operations on Tuesday, Oct. 28.
The ruptured water line has been fully repaired, and water access has been restored to the school’s facilities, allowing for safe and regular operations.
VIDE extends sincere appreciation to the Bureau of School Construction and Maintenance, utility crews, and all individuals who worked tirelessly even during overnight hours to ensure that repairs were completed as quickly and safely as possible.
We are eager to welcome back our students, faculty, and staff as instruction resumes. We thank parents and guardians for their patience and understanding as this matter was prioritized and resolved.
All faculty, staff, and students of Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School are expected to report for a regular school day on Tuesday
