Two schools remain closed following staff deaths

Luther Thorne Primary and St Stephen’s Nursery remain closed today as staff receive counselling following the deaths of two colleagues over the weekend.
In a statement, the Ministry of Educational Transformation said teachers, students, and staff were met with the sad news when they arrived at school on Monday. Both institutions were closed early yesterday to allow the school communities to process the loss.
The ministry said counselling services are being made available to those who require additional emotional support, and both schools will stay closed today, Tuesday, to facilitate the sessions for staff.
The Ministry of Educational Transformation extended condolences to the families, friends, and colleagues of the deceased.
