Earthquake closes D.C., P.G. schools Wednesday

Classes were canceled for public schools in the District and Prince George’s County as teams searched the earthquake-rocked facilities for damage.

Last night, D.C. Chancellor Kaya Henderson planned to close only MarcFarland Middle, Roosevelt High and School Without Walls. But early Wednesday morning, a new release from D.C. Public Schools said all students and school staff should stay home while engineers make sure their classrooms are structurally sound.
