We appreciate your patience during this unprecedented school closure. The health and well-being of all in our district and surrounding communities continue to be our number one priority.
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. We will reassess again the week of May 1 to determine the next best course of action to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Please know that although schools are closed, our focus is on ensuring our students and staff have ongoing support, that teaching and learning continue, and that we stay connected with each other throughout this extended closure.
Sincerely,
Ricardo Lopez, Ed.D.
Garland ISD Superintendent
