BEDFORD, N.H. (WHDH) - Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was scheduled to visit two New Hampshire schools to learn about their re-opening Friday, but one visit was canceled after a faculty member tested positive for coronavirus, officials said.

DeVos visited Riddle Brook Elementary School in Bedford, New Hampshire and was scheduled to visit McKelvie Intermediate School as well, but a faculty member at McKelvie tested positive for the virus.

Students at the school have been asked to quarantine during contact tracing, officials said.
