Doral Academy Red Rock Elementary School will be closed Friday so the campus can be cleaned following reports that students are sick with a stomach bug, Southern Nevada health officials announced Thursday.

The Southern Nevada Health District, in a letter to parents, said crews will conduct a “deep cleaning and disinfection” Friday in the charter school. In its own letter to parents, the school wrote that school officials contacted the health district Thursday morning amid a “high number” students complaining of stomach issues.

Health district spokeswoman Jennifer Sizemore confirmed that the students who are sick span multiple grade levels at the Summerlin school.
