NEW PHILADELPHIA, Ohio — A school district in northeast Ohio that has more than 2,800 students said it’s closing all of its playgrounds after learning the mulch contains metal.
The New Philadelphia School District put a notice on social media that the mulch at all district playgrounds, the Quaker Dome and landscaping beds are all contaminated with pieces of metal.
The district has decided to close all district playgrounds until the issue is resolved for the safety of students, staff and the community. It added it will share updates as soon as playgrounds are safe to open.
“Thank you for your understanding as we take these steps to protect our students, families, and Quaker community,” the district wrote in a Facebook post.
The district didn’t say how it became aware of the situation.
