Two schools have been affected by staff shortages today. 

Teachers stayed away from Gordon Greenidge Primary School because of a security incident last week. 

At Parkinson Memorial Secondary School, some teachers are said to be outside, also because of environmental issues, including the reported discovery of bed bugs on the compound at The Pine, St Michael. 

Meanwhile, a Nation team is also on site at Eden Lodge Primary, where both teachers and students are on the outside.  

More details as they come.
