Dear Families, Teachers and Staff,

An individual from Ludlow has a presumptive case of Covid-19 corona virus. Given what I know about this situation, and after being in conversation with a nurse from the Vermont Department of Health and Secretary French of the Agency of Education, I have decided to close our schools until further notice.

Black River High School Middle School, Cavendish Town Elementary School, Chester-Andover Elementary School, Green Mountain Union School, Ludlow Elementary School and Mount Holly School are closed to students, teachers and most of our staff. Only the administration, school nurses and maintenance personnel are allowed in our buildings at this time.

I will keep you updated as our status changes.

Please follow the Vermont Department of Health's Guidelines for staying healthy. The link to the department is https://www.healthvermont.gov.

I wish you good health.

Sincerely,

Meg Alison Powden

Superintendent of Schools
