North East ISD and Northside announced Tuesday afternoon that its school closures are extending to April 24, an additional three weeks and other schools in the area are expected to follow suit.
Classes at NEISD would resume Monday, April 27.
“We are holding out hope that we may return this school year, but as we continue to see with COVID-19, things are constantly changing,” Superintendent Sean Maika wrote in a message to parents.
More Bexar County school districts are expected to announce extended closures Tuesday in response to the stay-at-home order issued by Mayor Ron Nirenberg.
The K-12 school closures have caused exams, proms and other end-of-year traditions to be canceled or postponed for some.

- North East ISD closing through April 24
- Northside ISD closing through April 24
- Harlandale ISD closing through April 24
