WALL, S.D. – Wall area schools were closed Monday “due to the number of staff with symptoms and being tested for COVID-19,” but they plan to reopen Tuesday.
The district made the closure announcement on Facebook Sunday.
By Monday afternoon, the district posted that Wall School and Big White will resume classes Tuesday. The post also stated that a “special board meeting held Monday determined that the closure should not extend further.”
The district was lacking in classroom and kitchen substitutes, it said.
Staff were able to use the building for remote learning preparation during the closure.
the district says breakfast will not be served at the schools this week and lunch menus will be altered. Upcoming parent-teacher conferences will be held virtually or over the phone.
