H1N1 Flu & Plano Schools
All Schools Resumed Regular Schedules May 6
As of May 5, Collin County and City of Plano health authorities, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), determined that school closure is not advised for a suspected case of Influenza A (H1N1) and, in general, is not advised. This new recommendation allowed Plano Independent School District to reopen its three previously-closed campuses and resume normal activities.
All campuses, including Wilson Middle School, Sigler Elementary School and Barron Early Childhood School resumed their regular schedules on Wednesday, May 6.
Additionally, all school activities and field trips, both inside and outside the district, resumed on May 6. This applied to all campuses.
Facility rentals and use resumed as scheduled on May 6.
The safety and well-being of our students are of the utmost importance to us.
Plano ISD made decisions regarding H1N1 based on the district’s close collaboration with Collin County and City of Plano health authorities and in accordance with guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Texas Department of State Health Services.
