Garland ISD extends their closure until May 4

Garland Independent School District serves the suburban cities of Garland, Rowlett, and Sachse.

At this time, based on information and directives from local, state and national leaders and health departments, Garland ISD will continue to remain closed through Monday, May 4, 2020, in alignment with the executive order issued by Governor Abbott today.

The district will reassess again the week of May 1 to determine the next best course of action to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Steps the district is taking

working to provide technology devices for those students who need them
developing learning activities for the student to do at home
providing meals for students
continuing to closely monitor the potential impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in Dallas County and follow the guidance provided by local health organizations
frequently using a preventive antimicrobial misting system at all facilities and on our buses to thoroughly and widely disinfect
making adjustments to our attendance policies to support students who need to self-quarantine (see the 3/6/20 update for more details)
