Covington Middle School is delaying their return to the classroom for at least one more week.
They’ve been closed since the end of January as a result of an ongoing carbon monoxide investigation.

The Virginia Department of Emergency Management, Covington Emergency Services, and local first responders found a gas oven and a ventilation system in the school’s cafeteria kitchen were not working properly, causing carbon monoxide to be released.
In a statement from Alleghany Highlands, they say they will continue with virtual classes Monday through Wednesday next week and will close for spring break Thursday and Friday as originally planned.
