20 STUDENTS STILL AT KRAUSE ELEMENTARY

  

UPDATE:

About 20 students, 4 families and 15 staff members are at Krause Elementary School.

The students were moved overnight from Alton Elementary.

School officials say the night went well and they’ll continue to care for the students until all are reunited with their parents.

Form BISD:

Due to heavy rains and flooding in Washington County, several Brenham ISD buses were unable to complete their route this afternoon to deliver students home. Those buses were rerouted to Alton Elementary School to safely unload students. As of 9:30 pm, we have fifty students at the Alton Elementary School campus, which is our designated safe shelter. We also have thirty staff members on site including the Brenham ISD Superintendent and Assistant Superintendent, a school nurse, and several campus administrators. Parents have been notified that their children are safe and well cared for and all students are being fed and entertained by the staff on site. Our staff members are making every effort to keep children calm and parents well informed. We are grateful to the many caring adults who have worked all evening to feed and comfort our students. Brenham ISD has cancelled all classes and activities for Friday, May 27, 2016. We will continue to update parents, staff, and the community if changes in the situation occur.
