Clear Creek ISD will extend its spring break and remain closed March 16-20 in an attempt to prevent the broader spread of COVID-19, the district announced in a media release March 12.

The decision was made as “a strong preventative step” in collaboration with other area districts, per the release. As of 4:30 p.m. March 12, numerous Greater Houston-area districts have announced their closures for the week of March 16. The superintendent will continue to work with state and local authorities to determine any future actions, per the release.

All school-related activities have been canceled, and facility rentals will also cease next week. District employees will be paid under the emergency closing, per the release.

CCISD families and staff members that traveled in the United States or internationally over the break this week are asked to self-report, as this information will help local health department officials and school nurses to check in with these individuals, per the release.

The form to self-report travels can be found here, and more information is available on the district’s COVID-19 website.
