KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools has closed its district offices after a handful of employees tested positive for COVID-19, according to a district spokesperson.
Edwin Birch, executive director of communication and marketing for KCKPS, said about five staff members received positive test results, which prompted the district to shut down the KCKPS Central Office at 2010 N. 59 St.
The offices will be closed until Oct. 8 at the recommendation of the Unified Government Public Health Department.
The closure does not impact schools. All students are learning remotely through at least the first nine weeks of the year.
The first quarter ends Nov. 5.
