Dripping Springs ISD announced an extension of school closures due to the coronavirus in response to Hays County's shelter-in-place order, effective March 26 at 11 p.m.. Schools will be closed until at least April 13, according to the district.

As the closures persist, DSISD will continue to provide mobile meals to free and reduced lunch program participants. Students will also continue to engage in virtual learning, some with the aid of technology loans from the district. A DSISD representative said that over 600 Chromebooks were handed out to families with students who reported a need for online learning devices.

The originally approved resolution to close DSISD schools was approved March 16 and was set to extend through April 3.
