Another North Texas School District is closing its doors for a few days because of COVID.
The Lewisville School District is cancelling classes starting Wednesday and will reopen schools next Monday - January 31st.
"We do not have enough staff members to cover the expected staff absences, despite our best efforts to find substitutes and coverage for classes. The numbers simply are not in our favor," Lewisville ISD Interim Superintendent Gary Patterson said in a recent letter to parents.
Gary Patterson says the positive cases reported by middle and high schools has increased by almost 500 percent in the last 10 days.
Student activities such as fine arts and athletics will continue at the high school level. Middle school athletics for this week will be canceled and rescheduled for a future date, while some optional fine arts practice sessions may be held virtually, according a report from NBCDFW.com
