The Ministry of Educational Transformation has announced the temporary closure of Luther Thorne Primary and St Stephen’s Nursery following the deaths of staff members from both institutions over the weekend.
Teachers, students, and staff were met with the news upon arriving at school this morning. As a result, the Ministry made the decision to close both schools early today.
In a statement, the Ministry said counselling will be provided for staff and others in need of emotional support. Both schools will remain closed on Tuesday, November 11, to facilitate these sessions.
The Ministry extended its deepest condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the deceased staff members.
