A Philadelphia elementary school building will close for the rest of the school year due to asbestos.
Despite this, Andrewlevich said the decision was still made to close the Mitchell School building for the rest of the school year. Students will be off Monday and virtual learning will start Tuesday and last through at least Friday, April 14. The school will also provide an update early next week on an alternate location and a start date for in-person learning at the new site that will last until June.
“Having led Mitchell during COVID shut down, I am aware of the unique impact the closing of our building has on each student, family, staff member and the overall community,” Andrewlevich wrote. “I am deeply sorry for forthcoming challenges. We are determined to make the remainder of the school year the best it can be for our students and families, who are most affected by this closing.
Students at that school are still doing virtual learning as officials continue to search for alternate sites.
