? Students did not return to class at a Pelham school Monday after the roof collapsed, trapping two workers over the weekend.
Officials say they were hoping to reopen Colonial Elementary School Tuesday. However, the school will remain closed for two weeks.
The collapse happened at around noon Saturday while no children were on the premises. The school's library and art room have been undergoing an expansion.
Two construction workers were pulled from under the rubble and are listed in serious condition.
Officials say the students will be attending class in other school buildings beginning Tuesday.
