Stone County Schools Closed Through April 24

​April 2, 2020
​Isaac Estes-Jones

All five public school districts in Stone County have extended their closure orders ahead of the reevaluation period set out last month. According to a news release, Reeds Spring, Crane, Hurley, Galena and Blue Eye school districts have decided to keep schools closed through at least April 24. 

“These districts understand that this is a very uncertain time for everyone, but the public can be sure of one thing: districts are focused on protecting the safety and well-being of students, staff and their families,” the release reads. The decision to stay closed came as the districts met with the Stone County Health Department and other officials. Branson, Hollister, Kirbyville and Taneyville school districts also closed through April 24.

The extended closure includes cancelling all extracurricular activities during this period. 

School districts distributed educational resources for the first portion of the extended break. These resources and instructional information were considered optional but recommended. Further learning and educational plans are developing along with the county’s and country’s responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“As this unprecedented situation continues to evolve, additional modifications may become necessary,” the report states. As additional information becomes available and decisions are made, schools are working to let everyone know how to proceed and stay safe.
