WACO, Texas South Waco Elementary School will close its campus and transition online starting Monday, Dec. 14 due to COVID-19 infections.
Principal Twana Lee made the announcement Friday and said students will learn remotely Dec. 14-18. The campus will open for in-person learning on Jan. 5 after the winter break.
A total of nine people at the school tested positive since Monday, Lee said in the announcement.
“While most of these people likely were not infected at school, the increasing number of cases is a cause for concern. It also means that about 20 employees at our campus will be out on Monday after testing positive or being in close contact with someone who tested positive, Lee said. Mo
