Several Texas school districts are temporarily closing to sanitize their facilities following a spike in illness-related absences.
The Godley Independent School District will be closed until Feb. 3 after they reported a 70% to 80% attendance rate across all campuses.
“Tuesday was our last day of school, and we had about 650 students out with the flu and several more that were leaving throughout the day,” Jeff Meador said. Meador is the chief communications officer for Godley ISD. “We had staff members out, too. So, at least 60 some that still weren’t feeling well that were at work or some that were going to need to leave to take care of their own kids.”
