Center ISD Announces School Closure Due to Confirmed Case of Viral Meningitis

Center ISD Parents and Guardians, 

February 13, 2018 - We have been notified of a confirmed case of viral meningitis at the FLM campus. As a result, we are taking immediate and swift action to disinfect the entire FLM campus.

Furthermore, we are seeing and experiencing a large number of flu or flu-like illnesses across the district. The presence of the illnesses are lingering, persistent, and growing both in our student body and faculty. As such, Center ISD will take proactive measures to disinfect and deep clean all district buildings and buses thoroughly. 

Therefore, Center ISD will close all campuses Wednesday, February 14 and Thursday, February 15. Both Friday and Monday are student holidays. As such, students will return to school on Tuesday, February 20. In this case, makeup days will not be necessary. 

Other than FLM, the campus offices will be open until noon tomorrow. We sincerely apologize for the short notice. Respectfully, 
James Hockenberry Superintendent, Center ISD
