JISD campuses reopen for Wednesday classes

After an unexpected Oct. 26 day off from school, Jacksonville ISD students return to their campuses on Wednesday, Oct. 27, to resume the normal school schedule, according to JISD officials.

"Under the current boil water notice, consumption of water is still not deemed safe; however, we have received clarification from the city that hand-washing is allowable," a release stated.

Meanwhile, to help create a safer environment, officials have stated that:

Bottled water will be provided on campuses.

Water fountains will be turned off or covered until the notice is lifted.
Cafeterias will serve hot breakfasts and lunches, following strict Health Department guidelines.
Restrooms and hand washing with soap will be available at all facilities.

JISD will follow protocols until the water boil notice is lifted by the city and all water test results confirm the water is safe for consumption.
