The school district explained that the switch was "due to the length of time needed to clean the school and get it ready for in-person learning."

The latest comes after the decision was made to close the school to students and staff on Monday.

Officials announced Sunday that the school had been flooded after a pipe burst on the grounds. The severity of the damages has not been specified by school officials yet.
