In a press release Superintendent Dr. David Young that “out of an abundance of caution” the district would be closing. If public health concerns diminish in the coming months and the district decides to reopen families will be notified immediately.
“What has become abundantly clear to all of us who have been part of conference calls with Texas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath as well as medical professionals and other health agencies is that we’re all in this for the long haul,” said Young.
