In a letter to parents, Superintendent Alexis McGloin blamed this summer's persistent hot, humid and rainy conditions.

The school needs changes to its HVAC system and significant cleaning. McGloin said there was no choice but to close the building.

"We want to ensure that this problem is addressed properly, and we are not looking to cut corners on this important issue, so a building closure is unavoidable," McGloin said in the statement.

The elementary schools and the middle school are not affected.
