At the recommendation of the Commissioner of Education, Governor Laura Kelly, and the Speaker of the House, as well as our own concern for the safety and well-being of our students and families, we have made the decision that ALL USD 250 schools will be closed Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 20.
Effective immediately, all district events and extracurricular activities are canceled until the District reopens or further notice. This includes all district-sponsored PD, athletics, fine arts, clubs, and group events.
Spring Break, March 23 through March 27th, will continue as scheduled. Closing all schools during this period of time provides Kansas officials and USD 250 administration the time needed to finalize a comprehensive plan for how to address COVID-19.
While the district is closed, the District Crisis Response Team and essential personnel for this evolving situation will continue to consult with local health authorities and convene virtually and regularly in order to conduct a full and ongoing assessment of risks for students and staff.
We encourage our students and staff to follow recommended social distancing and healthy hygiene habits provided by KDHE and the Crawford County Health Department.
We ask for your patience as we navigate this unprecedented situation and work through additional details. As we have more specifics about what services we will be able to provide for families in need during this closure, we will communicate through or regular means.
