Schools spokesman Bob Mosier said the closure is due to the ongoing $101 million renovations at Northeast.

Throughout the year, classes have been conducted in the building while renovations have been ongoing, but the additional days are needed to allow for the relocation of furnishings into newly renovated areas of the building.
