Three Canyons District schools shut down Monday morning and the closures were only somewhat related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
A water main break in Midvale left Copperview Elementary, Midvale Elementary and Midvale Middle without water, and classes at all three schools were dismissed at 11:15 a.m. Buses arrived early to take students who normally ride them home, and the schools will release elementary school students to parents, guardians or secondary school-aged siblings. Students were given grab-and-go lunches before they were dismissed.
