The Gonzales Independent School District posted to its Facebook page on Friday, Dec. 11, that it had become aware of an additional case of COVID-19 among its district staff. The last time this staff member was on campus was Tuesday, Dec. 8, according to the district.

Here is that statement:

"Today, Dec. 11, 2020, GISD learned of a District staff member who tested positive for COVID-19. This individual was last on campus on Dec. 8, 2020. The district is getting in touch with those who came into 'close contact' with the individual.
We will continue to work with our staff members, parents and students to keep everyone healthy and safe. If your child is ill or being tested for COVID-19, please notify your campus office and campus nurse. We cannot stress enough, the importance of our students consistently wearing facial coverings as required. Face coverings assist in limiting others from being exposed or coming in contact with illnesses. As previously stated, please ensure face coverings are clean. Thank you for your patience and understanding."
