Niagara Falls, NY (WBEN) After a round of testing for COVID19, Niagara Falls Schools Superintendent Mark Laurrie says Maple Avenue Elementary School will reopen Monday.
"The NFCSD took quick action and under an abundance of caution closed Maple as soon as we heard of the first positive case at the school," says Laurrie. "Our partners at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center and the Niagara County Department of Health acted swiftly and organized COVID-19 testing the day after Maple was closed."
The school was closed September 28 after a staff member tested positive. Laurrie says there were 13 subsequent positive tests among individuals at the school.
Laurrie adds the Niagara County Department of Health notified the District that all of the quarantines related to the cases at Maple Elementary will have expired by October 19, 2020, hence the decision to reopen
