Classes in the West Irondequoit school district will be canceled on Friday, Dec. 17 for all K-12 students.
In a statement released Thursday, district superintendent Aaron Johnson said the emergency closure was due to the high number of projected absences among staff members.
‘Our staff has been outstanding at stepping in to manage gaps while covering absences and thanks to that work we’ve developed an understanding of our staffing threshold,’ Johnson said. ‘Based on projections, we are expected to extend beyond that ceiling. I am confident we will be able to open on Monday, December 20th, as scheduled. We wanted to give families as much advance notice as possible, so they can plan accordingly.’
