CCISD is following the lead of local colleges and universities, extending its Spring Break.

Classes are expected to resume March 23.

"While we cannot require students and their families to stay in the area, we strongly recommend doing so to help ensure a safe environment when schools reopen," the statement reads.

The district said in a statement that it will use the extra time to deep clean its schools and facilities and "implement additional measures to foster good health."

"We take seriously our role in safeguarding public health, and our responsibility to help our area remain a low-risk environment," the statement reads. "Out of an abundance of caution, CCISD will remain closed the week of March 16."

Employees will be expected to stay in the area, and the district said it will be in touch with staff to consult on work schedules.

An FAQ, and regular updates, will be provided on its website.



Parents with specific questions are invited to contact the district at communications@ccisd.us. CCISD said it will not respond to specific questions but will update the FAQ section with topics raised.
