LEAGUE CITY, Texas – A Clear Creek Independent School District campus will be closed Friday after more than 100 students and staff members reportedly caught a “stomach bug.”
More than 130 faculty and students were reported absent at Hyde Elementary School in League City on Thursday because of the illness, according to a letter emailed to parents.
The symptoms included diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain.
As a precaution, the school was closed so crews can deep-clean and disinfect the building.
“In coordination with the Galveston County Health District, they’ve made the recommendation that we close,” CCISD Communications Director Elaina Polsen said.
The school is expected to reopen for classes on Monday, April 24.
