Pflugerville ISD facilities and campuses will remain closed through April 13, according to a post on the district’s website.
The announcement comes after Travis and Williamson counties both enacted shelter-in-place orders aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19.
In its statement, PfISD said it will await guidance from state and local officials before making any decisions about when to reopen campuses.
Other Austin-area school districts have similarly announced closures through at least April 10.
