MANCHESTER, NH — Based on orders issued Thursday by Gov. Chris Sununu, NH schools will be closed through at least May 4 as part of a state-wide stay-at-home order. That order closes all non-essential businesses and calls for all to stay home unless absolutely necessary.

Schools will remain in remote learning status. More information will be forthcoming.
