August 20, 2021 - Today, we received information that there was speculation that Center ISD is talking about shutting down. At this point, there has been no discussion between administration and the school board to shut down. The last time the district shutdown was due to a declaration by Governor Abbott. 

Again, Center ISD does not have any plans to shut down due to COVID-19 or the Delta Variant.

We will see you Monday. Have a blessed and restful weekend.

Dr. Brian Morris
Superintendent 
Center ISD
