South Bronx Educational Campus on Saint Ann’s Avenue, which houses two schools, will be closed today to students and staff
According to the city’s daily COVID-19 case map, the building has been shut down.
Students who’ve been coming for in-person learning will most likely switch to remote until the building reopens.
News 12 is told University Heights Secondary School in this building had closed down a classroom on Oct. 14 and was set to reopen today. That means either a teacher or student tested positive in that classroom for COVID-19. In order for the Department of Education to close down a building the school has to have at least two cases linked together in school.
As of now, the building is scheduled to reopen to students and staff Thursday.
