Out of an abundance of caution, it is recommended that any individual who may have been exposed get tested for COVID-19 if they begin to exhibit symptoms. Per the HISD Communicable Disease Plan, each location is sanitized and deep cleaned.
We are taking this situation seriously and continue to work closely with the Houston Health Department to identify any student or staff member who should be tested for COVID-19.
