“Facility Services and contractors have been working as quickly as possible to address the situation,” a release from the board said. “The complexity of the work requires the school to be closed to students and staff for the rest of the week. Their work impacts the main sewer line to the school, requiring them to access lines buried beneath the school.”
The board says work will continue to be done in effort to reopen the school after the Christmas break on January 8.
It says it will provide updates as more information becomes available.
The WRDSB says students are using asynchronous learning resources where they are able and can work on previously assigned work as they are able.
