Parkinson Memorial School reopens

October 21, 2024

The Parkinson Memorial School reopened today.

This is according to a statement from the Ministry of Education.

The school had been closed since last week Wednesday, after a significant number of teachers stayed away, over concerns about bed bugs and other issues.

According to the Ministry, the management of the school reported the furniture and spaces that were impacted have all been industrially cleaned.

Other areas that underwent some form of retrofitting have also been completed.

Additionally, the board has reportedly started the process of filling outstanding vacancies at the school.

Meanwhile, the reception and nursery sections of the St. Ambrose Primary School also reopened today.

They had been closed for sanitisation after a student contracted foot and mouth disease and three others presented with rashes.
