AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin ISD has canceled all international school trips scheduled to take place in March due to the coronavirus outbreak.
In a letter to parents and students, Superintendent Paul
Cruz said the school district “will continue to assess the impacts on domestic
travel on a frequent basis.”
“Out of an abundance of caution and to be in
alignment with other governmental partners, Austin ISD has canceled all
district-sponsored international school trips through March 31 because of the
increased risk of exposure to the Coronavirus,” Cruz wrote.
During Spring Break, students and their families should also
avoid traveling to China, Iran, Italy and South Korea, the letter says.
The letter also details other steps the school
district is taking to address the outbreak.
Students should not go to class if they have or recently had a
fever of 100.4F or higher, according to the letter. In that case, they should
see a physician before going back to school.
