Superintendent Joe Curtis informed the school community Wednesday night that Taconic High School and Reid Middle School would be closed through Friday through a phone message.
“It's very discouraging, because we have been talking a lot about and encouraging everyone to join any effort to keep our schools open," said Mayor Linda Tyer. "And so it's discouraging that we're at a point where, due to staffing shortages associated with positive COVID, we've had to close two of our schools.”
It will be determined over the weekend whether a Monday reopening is possible.
Over 830 students attend Taconic and over 450 attend Reid.
