Houston ISD and at least 30 other Houston-area school districts announced Monday that they will remain shuttered through the second week of April as a precaution to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
HISD officials said in a statement that the district would remain closed through April 10.
“As districts around the state and across the country continue to grapple with how to proceed in this unprecedented challenge to public health and education, the Houston Independent School District supports the nation’s need to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic,” the statement read.
On Monday, April 6, HISD administrators will evaluate whether a closure beyond April 10 is necessary.
The district will provide parents with information regarding online learning and alternative education options later this week.
Several other districts and private schools in the area announced that they, too, will remain closed through April.
