Durham School of the Arts, which closed after the explosion in Durham on Wednesday, will remain closed Friday, April 12.
In a press release, Durham Public Schools said the campus buildings have been inspected thoroughly and deemed safe, but the school will remain closed because of “extensive street closures for the emergency recovery operations in the neighborhood.”
Students were sent home following an explosion at 115 N. Duke St. on Wednesday, a few minutes walk from the campus.
The school plans to reopen Monday for a full-or half day, but a final decision will be made Friday.
There will be no make-up day for April 12.
