The schools in my immediate area are on spring break now but I missed this info on 3/13. In the County the 6 school districts released a joint statement which I've never seen them do, stating the following:
"As partners in community health, the six school districts of Johnson County, Johnson County Government and the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment are in the process of collaborating and accumulating data regarding the continuation of school following spring break.
The districts are currently deep cleaning and disinfecting buildings while students and staff members are on spring break.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and the Kansas Department of Education advised against school closures at this time. Although they have advised against a closure, we would like parents to be aware that a closure may become necessary in the future.
Before we return from spring break, we will continue to evaluate the implementation of the interim guidance from the Kansas Department of Health and the Environment Kansas Department of Education.
As we collaborate with local health officials, we will provide additional information as soon as it becomes available."
3 of the 6 school districts are commonly called "the big three" and they often make the same decisions when we're talking about incliment weather meaning if 1 closes down nearly all the time the other 2 will follow suit. But to have all 6 school districts come together is quite the thing.
Keep in mind the bolding which is something a poster, either on this thread or another thread, posted a link in respects to school closures, how long and their potential impacts to the community.
