Lebanon Community Schools and Zionsville Community Schools closed their building at 6 p.m. Thursday due to COVID-19 (coronavirus) concerns. The buildings will remain closed through spring break.
According to the Indianapolis Star, students will have no classes Friday and both district will do eLearning starting Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 27, when spring break begins in both districts.
The districts stressed that there will be no after-school activities, events or use of the buildings during that time.
School leaders said they’ll share more information about logistics of eLearning with families soon. Zionsville families will receive that information via email and Lebanon families will get more information at noon Friday.
Zionsville and Lebanon officials said there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the schools and the closures are a way to reduce the spread of the virus.
Western Boone County Community School Corporation announced they will be on eLearning through at least March 20.
Earlier in the week, health officials confirmed one positive test for the coronavirus in Boone County.
