The Gladewater Independent School District (GISD) has announced the temporary closure of all schools on Thursday, February 1, 2024, and Friday, February 2, 2024, in response to a significant increase in flu cases among students and staff.
The decision to close the schools was communicated through social media on Wednesday afternoon, citing a notable uptick in flu cases leading to a substantial number of student and staff absences. The district aims to curb the spread of the flu within the school community by implementing a brief shutdown.
During the closure period, GISD will conduct a thorough deep cleaning and sanitization of all campuses and administrative offices. The administration emphasizes the importance of these measures in maintaining a healthy environment for students and staff.
Regular school activities are scheduled to resume on Monday, February 5, 2024.
