The Allegheny-Clarion Valley School District's second day of classes will be Monday, more than a week after the first day.

FOXBURG, Clarion County — Allegheny-Clarion Valley School District's second day of classes will be Monday — more than a week after the first day.

Problems with the district's public water service have forced school officials to cancel classes every day in this new school year except for the first day on Aug. 29.

A Wednesday night break in a water line under Summit Avenue resulted in the state issuing a 48-hour boil water advisory and the district canceling classes Thursday and Friday, said Superintendent David McDeavitt.

“Come Monday we're going to be back in school one way or the other,” McDeavitt said.

The district will distribute 140 cases of water to the schools and the Clarion County EMS donated two water buffalos so classes can resume Monday, he said.

All water fixtures in schools will be shut off and hand sanitizer will be provided in restrooms, he said.

The impact of canceling classes for six days will be discussed at the Sept. 17 school board meeting, he said.
