Natrona County School District announced schools will be closed starting tomorrow, March 16, until at least April 5.
According to a message from the NCSD, the decision was made after Governor Mark Gordon and superintendent Jillian Bilow recommended on Sunday afternoon that all schools in the state should close amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“NCSD will share additional details and further information with parents, guardians and staff as soon as possible in the coming days,” said the message.
St. Anthony’s Catholic School in Casper will also close, according to a statement sent by email.
“We will let you know as soon as we can what our plans are for accommodating the learning needs of our students,” said the message.
Teton County School District announced it would close schools at least until the end of spring break on Sunday, followed shortly by the Laramie County School District.
The move comes amid a flurry of closures and restrictions in states across the country as officials try to slow the spread of COVID-19.
As of Sunday, March 15, there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the county. There are three confirmed cases so far in Wyoming as of Sunday.
