St. Ambrose Primary School remained closed today, Tuesday, to facilitate additional ventilation following recent treatment for the presence of cockroaches.
The school was initially closed early on Monday, February 2, around noon after staff reported a strong chemical odour on the compound.
The Ministry of Educational Transformation said investigations conducted this morning confirmed that the odour persisted despite initial ventilation efforts. After consultations with union representatives, a decision was taken to keep the school closed to allow for further airing of the facility until the odour is minimized.
The Ministry expressed thanks to parents and guardians for their cooperation and said it looks forward to welcoming students and staff back to a safe and hygienic environment as soon as possible.
