Lawrence T. Gay closed... again

FOR the third consecutive school day, Lawrence T. Gay Memorial Primary School will be closed.

The primary school was closed on Friday and the teachers and some of the parents received the news that the school would be closed yesterday.

The news of the closure for Monday came during the night on Sunday, leaving parents and teachers little time to alter their plans for the subsequent day.

Some parents who were not fortunate enough to receive the news the previous night, still turned up at the school.

However, the news of the closure for today, Tuesday, was sent earlier in the afternoon on Monday.

Parents and staff continue to live day by day in regards to notice of the current situation and the closure of the school.

The school has been plagued with environmental problems over the past year and continues to suffer from something that has caused many of the staff and pupils on the compound to become ill.

The school only reopened its doors this term after using four different locations to house the staff and children due to the

environmental issues, which have not gone away despite their return to the compound.

In 2016, a similar issue caused the school to house their classes off the compound. (CG)
