A day after resuming in-person instruction, Houston ISD closed over a dozen schools because of confirmed or presumed-positive cases of COVID-19, the district confirmed Oct. 20.
As of Oct. 20, the district's COVID-19 dashboard was reporting 90 total cases, including 10 cases among students.
The campuses reverted to full virtual instruction to allow for a deep cleaning and disinfecting treatment, per the Houston ISD Communicable Disease Plan.
The district said it will alert parents when it is safe for students to return to campus.
