LEE CO. SCHOOLS CLOSING FACILITIES, MOVING TO HOME-BASED REMOTE INSTRUCTION INDEFINITELY

  

All schools in Lee County will close instructional facilities and move to home-based and remote instructional settings, starting Monday and continuing indefinitely.

In a joint press release this (Thursday) morning, school officials said the decision was made after consulting with Lee County Judge Paul Fischer, Emergency Management Coordinator Delynn Peschke, Giddings Mayor John Dowell, Lexington Mayor Allen Retzlaff, and public and private school administrators.  They said these actions are in support of the nation’s need to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Officials in the release said closing facilities indefinitely will allow them to monitor local conditions and make decisions accordingly.  They also reminded the public to take precautions recommended by local, state, and national health authorities.

Once facilities reopen, each entity will provided a minimum of 72 hours notice.

Administrators will continue to reassess local conditions and provide timely updates via websites and social media.
