The Nashua School District announced Friday afternoon that schools will be closed next week over coronavirus concerns.

The following is a statement from district officials: “Schools are closing because of COVID-19, to put into practice social distancing, as recommended by the CDC as one way to help prevent the spread of the illness. Our school district website will serve as the source of updates, as we work our way through the week ahead. Dr. Mosley will get back to you no later than Thursday to let you know about returning to school Monday, March 23. Thank you for your patience.”
