Marlin ISD extends Spring Break extra week

Marlin ISD is extending Spring Break for students and will return on Monday, March 23. 
In a letter to the community on Friday Interim Superintendent Jean Bahney said the district has been monitoring the status of the COVID-19 over the course of this entire week and decided that closing from March 16-20 would be best.
“The Marlin ISD leadership team has been meeting to monitor changes,” Bahney said. “We will continue to review the most current information related to this virus and determine future action steps for the students and staff of Marlin ISD.” 
“We ask that everyone monitor their own health and avoid returning to work if you have a fever or any respiratory issues as we wish to avoid any exposure to this virus,” she said. “I will remain in contact with the leadership team and they will be notified if any changes need to occur.”
She asked that in the event that any of you, as parents, feel that you or your child(ren) may have been exposed to COVID-19 over the Spring Break, we ask that you keep your child(ren) home. 
The district also asks that you notify your campus administration so that we can help you avoid any issue with attendance concerns.
If you, as a parent, are concerned about your child(ren) attending school in order to avoid exposure to other children, please keep your child(ren) home and notify the district so they can help you with attendance issues.
