For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ A school in Dangriga had to send home its students this week after public health officials shut down the school because the sewerage system stopped functioning and the restrooms were no longer sanitary for the students to use. But the problem worsened when neighbours started to complain and the health officials intervened to close down the school. The issue is a long standing one for many years but it reached a critical point a few days ago. Students have missed over a week of classes and today an engineer went in to assess the sewerage system. Only when it is completed they will know a timeline for when classes will resume. When we checked back with the principal this evening, she told us that she met with the engineer and had just ended the meeting. She will be able to provide more information on Friday. Andrea Polanco was in Dangriga and stopped in at the school to find out more.
