Sulphur Springs ISD has announced that a teacher who was lab-confirmed to have COVID-19 was present at SSES within the last week, a student who  tested positive was present at Travis Primary within the last week and a student who tested positive was at SSHS within the last week..

 

The district and our local health department have begun a case investigation and will contact any individuals determined to be in close contact with the infected individual. All students and staff that came into close contact will be directly notified as soon as possible. Those that were in close contact will remain off campus for up to 14 days to ensure they do not have the virus, so that there will not be any further spread. We will keep you apprised of further updates.
