Mt. Garfield Middle School had over 25 students out sick to start the day, and an additional 23 kids have gone home due to vomiting since the start of school. They closed their doors at 1 p.m., and will not be open tomorrow.

The School District released a statement that says the closure will allow cleaning crews to disinfect the campus and buses and minimize the spread of any illness.

The District also says that they cannot confirm the source or cause of the illness. They have announced that it's likely caused by norovirus.
