From the Office of the Superintendent

The following six schools will be closed on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.

• Brookwood Elementary
• Cottondale Elementary
• Duncanville Middle
• Flatwoods Elementary
• Holt Elementary
• Lloyd Wood Education Center

No other TCSS schools are impacted by this closure, and students should report to school as normal at all other schools.

The temporary closure at these schools is due to a high number of faculty absences and lack of substitutes. While other schools are experiencing the same concerns, they are still able to operate at current staffing levels. At this time, we plan for students at the schools closed Tuesday to return to school on Wednesday, January 19, unless staffing remains at a level where we must be closed for an additional day. Families at these five schools will be contacted Tuesday afternoon, with an update on plans for Wednesday.

We encourage our families to keep practicing healthy habits and good hygiene, to fight the spread of COVID-19, as well as illnesses like cold and flu.
