APS High School To Close Due To COVID-19 Cases –
KUNM
Eldorado High School in Albuquerque is closing for two weeks after several students tested positive for COVID-19.
Albuquerque Public Schools sent a letter to families and staff informing them that the campus will close and switch to remote learning following a closure order from the New Mexico Public Education Department.
The letter notes the department requires schools to close within 7 days of multiple positive cases. APS says all but one of the positive cases at Eldorado was apparently contracted off the campus.
The letter says students and staff who had contact with those who tested positive will be notified and should quarantine for 10 days as required by the Department of Health.
