An investigation into a mysterious odor that sent 23 students and staff to the hospital and caused Graham Mesa Elementary School in Rifle to be evacuated Sept. 1 has so far been inconclusive.
On Friday, Walsh Environmental began an analysis of the building, evaluating mechanical systems and testing the air quality.
“Their final report is expected at the end of (this) week,” Garfield Re-2 School District spokesperson Theresa Hamilton said.
Meanwhile, the school will remain closed until more is known, she said.
There will be no school for Graham Mesa students on Tuesday. Today is already a day off for the Labor Day holiday.
Starting Wednesday, first- and second-grade students from Graham Mesa will have classes at Highland Elementary School in Rifle, while third- and fourth-grade students will be at Wamsley Elementary.
