The Lester Vaughan School was closed this afternoon due to the absence of several teachers, the Ministry of Education has said.
In a brief statement, the ministry said one contributing factor was a senior class trip, which required a few teachers to accompany the students.
It however noted there were a few teachers already out on sick leave and today’s absences put further strain on the already limited teaching complement. A decision was therefore taken to close the school after lunch.
The ministry said it will advise parents and guardians on how the school will operate tomorrow.
