Mill Road Elementary School and District administrative offices will be closed on Tuesday, June 24, following a minor electrical fire after school hours Monday.
A fuse malfunctioned in the electrical system, causing the fire in a maintenance space. The building itself did not sustain any damage. While repairs are underway, district officials decided it is in the best interest to all students and staff to remain closed for the day as the electrical system is tested under the extreme temperatures forecast.
Changes to planned building events will be communicated separately by Principal Dr. Brian Boyd and Assistant Principal Kristen Strothmann.
The closure will not impact the academic calendar. All testing and scheduled activities at Linden Avenue Middle School and Red Hook High School will proceed as scheduled.
Mill Road was also scheduled to host primary election voting Tuesday; residents can instead visit other polling sites at Red Hook High School or Bard College’s Bertelsmann Campus Center to cast ballots. Visit the Dutchess County Board of Elections website for details.
The Red Hook Central School District thanks the Red Hook Fire Department and Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. for their prompt response and assistance in addressing our building needs.
An update will be sent to families and staff on Tuesday.
