A high school in Richmond is temporarily closed due to health concerns. School district officials made the decision after vapor test results showed levels of a toxic substance under the site. The substance, tetrachloroethylene, was detected at Kennedy High School.

The closure will remain in place until inspectors determine it is safe for students to return. This decision affects the start of the new school year for students at the school. Further details about the situation and the toxic substance are available from the school district and local news sources, including KRON4.
