Alexandra Rivera of Rockland/Westchester Journal News reminds us that schools in several Hudson River communities will close early Thursday as President Biden's visit to Irvington for a fundraiser is expected to generate road closures and traffic during late afternoon rush hour.

The president is expected to attend a high-profile campaign fundraising event hosted by actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones on Thursday in the Hudson River village. It will be his third time visiting the county since he was elected president in 2020.

The Irvington, Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Tarrytowns and Hastings-on-Hudson school districts said they will implement early release schedules ahead of the president's arrival, which they indicate will be in the late afternoon. All after-school programs in these districts will be cancelled April 25.
