Dear Plano ISD eNews Subscriber:

As of May 5, Collin County and City of Plano health authorities, including
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have determined that
school closure is not advised for a suspected case of Influenza A (H1N1)
and, in general, is not advised. This new recommendation allows the Plano
Independent School District to reopen its three campuses and resume normal
activities.

All campuses, including Wilson Middle School, Sigler Elementary School and
Barron Early Childhood School will resume their regular schedule Wednesday,
May 6.

Additionally, all school activities and field trips, both inside and outside
the district, will resume on May 6. This applies to all campuses.

Facility rentals and use will resume as scheduled on May 6.

The Plano ISD Teacher of the Year Gala is scheduled for May 21.

As a reference, please check the website of the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) at the following link:

The safety and well-being of our students are of the utmost importance to
us. Plano ISD is making decisions regarding H1N1 based on the district’s
close collaboration with Collin County and City of Plano health authorities
and in accordance with guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention and the Texas Department of State Health Services.
