Officials have canceled in-person summer school at North Hill Elementary School in Burlington due to potential safety concerns regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
The decision was made after eight students were confirmed to have temperatures of 100 degrees or higher, according to school officials. Students are checked daily for COVID-19 symptoms and each student's temperature is checked upon arrival.
School officials said the suspension of in-person classes was precautionary and, thus far, none of the students have tested positive for the virus. About 60 students were signed up to attend in-person summer school at North Hill. Classes will be transitioned to online instruction.
