BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Students who once shopped at a downtown mall in Burlington, Vermont, are now attending high school in the former Macy’s department store, with gleaming white tile floors and escalators whisking them to and from classes. The existing Burlington High School was closed last August after PCBs were found in the building. School officials eyed the closed Macy’s store as an alternative. Partial walls were added for classrooms while some remnants, like the Calvin Klein and Michael Korrs signs remained. While noise from the partial walls is a challenge, some students say they’re happy to be back in school after being remote for much of the year.
