As coronavirus churns, Arlington Independent School District extends class cancellation
As the novel coronavirus continued to make more people sick Wednesday, the Arlington Independent School District extended the cancellation of its classes indefinitely.
The district had previously joined the Fort Worth Independent School District in extending its closure through April 3, after Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order last week closing all Texas schools through that date.
But an April 6 reopening is not to be.
“We don’t know when school on campus will resume,” the Arlington district wrote on Twitter. “We’re following guidance from health officials. When it’s safe to open our doors, we’ll communicate a date.”
The district has a program that provides breakfast and lunch weekdays for students. It has been using an online learning program with lessons for students in prekindergarten through 12th grade.
The Fort Worth district said Tuesday that schools will remain closed and students will learn from home until further notice.
