"After investigating the circumstances, the Jordan School District Board of Education has determined that it is necessary for Copper Hills High School to close on Tuesday, Sept. 22, for deep cleaning and through disinfecting of the building," the announcement posted on Facebook and on the school's website read.
The cancellation includes classes both in-person and online. Students and parents will not be allowed in the building, but faculty and staff will be permitted to enter if necessary "to quickly gather instructional materials and leave." All school activities will also be canceled.
