This action has been taken to help slow the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and follow the advice from health officials. CFBISD suspends normal operating procedures through April 17 due to COVID-19, with the possibility of additional closures.
As always, the health and well-being of the students and staff is the top priority of officials. Please visit www.cfbisd.edu/covid19 for more information on meal distribution, at-home learning, and additional health and educational resources for your family.
