The district in Gorman, Texas, was supposed to start school this week but decided to delay for a week because there were too many active cases among students and staff.
“This decision was not made lightly or quickly, and it was made with the best interest of all students, staff, and parents’ safety in mind,” Gorman Superintendent Mike Winter said.
Two other school districts in the state, in Bloomberg and Waskom, shut down temporarily after the first week of classes because there were too many staff members out with COVID. Another district, Iraan-Sheffield Independent School District in West Texas, shut down on Monday for two weeks so students and staff could quarantine.
