FARMINGTON — The state education department has ordered Piedra Vista High School to shut down in-person learning for two weeks due to multiple positive cases of COVID-19 within a two-week period.
Farmington Superintendent Gene Schmidt told The Daily Times the order will have very little impact on students as they prepare for summer vacation starting this week.
The district's last day of instruction is May 27 as the building will close on May 28.
The state education department is giving Farmington schools seven days to close down Piedra Vista, then keep it closed for 14 days.
“The letter, although cautionary, is not needed,” Schmidt said. “Kids will go home safely, and we will begin our summer.”
