'We have received an updated advisory from the BOH on-site at Florence Roche. At this time it is their assessment that the illness students are experiencing is caused by a virus,' Groton-Dunstable Regional School District Superintendent Laura Chesson said.
The school was deep cleaned, and the food, milk and water supply all checked, but nothing problematic was found, leading officials to believe this is some kind of virus. Students were advised to bring lunch on Friday as a precaution, but ultimately the Board of Health recommended they close the building. Chesson said they are assuming it is norovirus, based on the symptoms and spread.
Parents are advised to watch their kids for symptoms and if they do get sick, to keep them home for 72 hours.
