CEDAR CITY — Following reports that additional people were sickened after possible exposure to carbon monoxide at Canyon View Middle School, Iron County School District officials announced on Sunday evening that students and teachers will move to remote learning for both Monday and Tuesday.

"School administrators are currently putting together how that will look," Shauna Lund, the district's communications coordinator, told Cedar City News just after 5 p.m.

"We're putting together a way to distribute Chromebooks to students (Monday) morning, as well as breakfast and lunch so that that is not missed by our students," Lund added. "Those details will be coming later this evening and sent to every parent of a Canyon View Middle School student."

Also on Sunday evening, the district sent out a news release explaining that the two remote learning days will enable an independent group to test the carbon monoxide detectors that are located throughout the building, in every classroom, hallway and public area.
