The issues were discovered Monday morning, forcing school officials to cancel school and move teachers to other buildings for professional development.
Parents were notified Monday afternoon that Jewett Street School students should prepare to attend classes set up at the Boys and Girls Club, 555 Union St., until further notice. Transportation will be provided. There will be no preschool classes until school resumes at Jewett Street, according to Assistant Superintendent Jenn Gillis.
