Kofa High School opens Thursday

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Yuma Union High School District (YUHSD) said Kofa High School will open as regularly scheduled Thursday.

The update comes after both Kofa and Cibola High Schools closed Tuesday due to air conditioning issues.

While Cibola reopened Wednesday, Kofa remained closed to allow an "additional 24 hours for classrooms to reach safe and comfortable temperatures for staff and students," YUHSD said.

During that time, "all students will attend class virtually from home using the Canvas Learning Management System," YUHSD said.

YUHSD said the bill for first period will ring at 7:34 a.m. Thursday, and is advising parents that "Avenue A will be closed between Parkview Loop and the north entrance to Smucker Park (near Solana Drive) due to the removal and installation of underground utilities by DPE Construction."

Instead, YUHSD is encouraging parents to "access Avenue A from 32nd Street or Palmcroft Drive."
