3/18 Update on School Closures

Things continue to change on a daily basis regarding school and the Covid-19 related school closures. Today has proven to be no different.

Dr. Craft and the Board of Trustees have decided to extend the closure of all KISD campuses through Friday 3/27. This means school will not reconvene until Monday 3/30. Below is Dr. Craft's statement:

Parents,
Killeen ISD has made the decision to extend the closure of schools at this time through March 27, 2020. Given the difficult circumstances we are currently facing, this is the prudent decision at this time.
This suspension of normal school operations, taken in conjunction with surrounding districts, is in support of the overall effort to “flatten the curve” of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
Killeen ISD is committed to ongoing student learning opportunities while the district is closed.
The District will remain flexible as leaders plan for potential long-term delivery of instruction and continue to navigate the many details of this unprecedented situation. We will continue to update you with details via blackboard and our COVID-19 webpage, www.killeenisd.org/COVID19
Effective immediately, all district events and extracurricular activities are canceled until the District reopens or further notice from the Superintendent.
Our School Nutrition staff will continue our Grab & Go Breakfast and Lunch meals Monday- Friday through March 27, 2020 at the locations listed on the website.
We remain hopeful that staff and students will return to campus soon.
Once again Killeen ISD has extended our COVID-19 closure through March 27, 2020. Please check our district website www.killeenisd.org/covid19 for more information as we continue to engage students in Instructional Continuity.
Thank you for your flexibility during this time,
John Craft

Details regarding online learning opportunities will be forthcoming soon. You can check in daily here or at Killeenisd.org. 
Stay safe,
Coach Mayes
