FISD extends school closures

by | Mar 18, 2020 | Latest

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, Farmersville ISD will extend school closures through Friday, April 3.

“Our health officials report that cases are continuing to spread in the state, and an increase in confirmed cases in our county seems likely,” Superintendent Jeff Adams wrote in a letter. “Suspending operations for this length of time will allow us to determine, in coordination with local health officials, whether the virus is continuing to have community spread or whether it has been contained. We are coordinating with other school districts in the county and will use the week of March 30 to make any decisions on whether there is a need to extend the suspension further.”

Further updates will be posted on farmersvilleisd.net and sent via email.

The most immediate correspondence will be regarding instructional delivery.

Adams, along with local and national health experts, recommends avoiding shaking hands, washing hands regularly, limiting movement in the community, avoiding large gatherings, self-quarantining after travel and staying home when sick.
