Northshore School District to close for up to 2 weeks amid COVID-19 concerns
The Northshore School District closed Thursday for up to two weeks as novel coronavirus continues to spread in Western Washington.
Students will be out of class on Thursday and Friday. District officials plan to begin online classes on Monday, March 9.
No confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been linked to any school in the district, though testing was underway for an employee at Frank Love Elementary School, according to the letter sent to parents Wednesday night, which closed Monday. Bothell High School was also closed for two days last week for deep cleaning after a school employee had a family member placed in quarantine for a possible novel coronavirus infection. That family member eventually tested negative for the virus.
Additionally, "multiple individuals from across our district are in self-quarantine because they may have been exposed to the COVID-19 coronavirus as a result of the issues at the senior home in Kirkland," the letter states.
