Merritt Island Christian School has been closed for two weeks after eight people tested positive for COVID-19.
Four teachers, a staff member and three students tested positive for the virus last week, Superintendent Nanci Dettra said, prompting the private school's coronavirus task force to recommend closing campus to students until Oct. 6.
The school began its academic year Aug. 17.
Faculty and students have all transitioned to virtual learning until campus reopens, and athletic events and practices have been rescheduled or postponed until students return.
