Two Marshall County elementary schools will remain closed Monday

Two Marshall County elementary schools will remain closed on Monday, as the rest of the system resumes classes after the holiday break.

Benton Elementary and Central Elementary received the worst of the damage from burst pipes in the sprinkler systems, caused by the extreme cold in the area over Christmas. Those two schools will not open on Monday, as repairs are still underway.

Marshall County Schools said on Friday that all the other schools would be able to open Monday. Marshall County High School, North Marshall Middle, and South Marshall Middle had damage as well, but not as extensive. 

In a release to parents, the school system is hoping the Commissioner of Education will declare Monday an emergency day so that it would not have to be made up.
