Students at New Carlisle Elementary School in New Carlisle, Ohio, returned to the classroom on Monday, September 28, following a closure of more than a week caused by a roof fire.

Key details from the report include:

• Reason for Closure: Following the fire on the roof, leaders from the Tecumseh Local Schools district determined that soot inside the building created an unsafe environment for students, necessitating a cleanup and safety evaluation that kept the school closed for over a week.

• Return and Adjustments: School Principal Kathryn Randenburg announced the reopening in a letter to families, outlining temporary changes to accommodate students.

• Relocation for Fifth Graders: As part of these temporary measures, fifth-grade students are holding their classes at nearby Medway Elementary School, with district officials managing the arrangement similar to a school field trip.
