Georgetown ISD reported its highest weekly number of COVID-19 cases between Jan. 18-24, according to the district’s website.
Of the 90 lab-confirmed reported cases, 74 were students and 16 were staff, data showed. The second highest weekly total was reported the week prior between Jan. 11-17, when 38 students and 19 staff cases were reported for 57 total cases, it said.
GISD Superintendent Fred Brent said in a Jan. 19 letter to parents that the district continues to monitor the COVID-19 numbers and follow district safety protocols but does not plan to close a school or the district.
“We take into consideration circumstances at each campus that might warrant closure including a reduction in staff,” Brent said. “It’s important to note that the needs are unique from campus to campus and district to district.”
