WINSTED — The members of Winsted’s Tang Soo Do martial arts class were none too pleased after finding out their class at Pearson Middle School would have to be postponed for the second straight week Wednesday night.
Last week’s class was rescheduled due to snow, but this week instructor Jeffrey Negron said the class was simply not allowed into the school for its 6 p.m. class.
He said he had received no word about the closing, either from school officials or the town's Parks and Recreation Department, which oversees the class.
Around 20 members, including children and their parents, hovered outside the school after getting the news.
Building officials had conducted a check of the school’s electrical systems earlier in the day after a teacher was shocked and burned by a failed light switch last week, but no specific explanation was offered for the closing.
