The first infected staff member reported symptoms on Sept. 9, the statement said, was sent home immediately, and received a positive test result on Sept. 13.
Due to the operational constraints the quarantine creates, the statement said, the school decided it would benefit students and faculty to go online.
The building will be deep-cleaned during the closure, according to the statement.
