RE: Closing of Campuses at Breeden and Champion Elementary
It has come to our attention that a BISD employee recently tested positive for COVID-19. Although we are not aware of any other employee that has tested positive, in an abundance of caution, we will be closing Breeden and Champion Elementary from June 18, 2020, through June 24, 2020. The Brownsville Independent School District will take the opportunity to clean and disinfect the campuses and ensure a safe environment at the school when it reopens on June 25, 2020.
The following are symptoms of COVID-19:
1.) Cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
2.) Chills, repeated trembling with chills
3.) Headache, muscle pain, sore throat
4.) Red eyes
5.) Diarrhea
6.) Feeling feverish or a temperature measure greater than or equal to 100 degrees Fahrenheit
If you exhibit any of the above symptoms, do not report to work on June 25, 2020. Instead, seek medical attention and let your campus principal know of your situation.
As stated, Breeden and Champion Elementary will be closed this week and employees will continue to work from home. If you can not return on June 25, 2020, please contact your immediate supervisor to discuss alternative work options.
Rest assured, the health and safety of our employees is our first priority. If you have any questions, or need more information regarding this matter, please contact Mandy G. Delgado, principal of Breeden Elementary, Ricardo Torres, Jr., principal of Champion Elementary, or Carmelita Rodriguez, assistant superintendent of human resources.
Very truly yours,
Dr. René Gutiérrez
Superintendent of Schools
