Officials said so many families are displaced, and the job of a school district is to look out for every child’s welfare.

“We sympathize with students and athletes not being able to participate in spring activities at this time, but the district has been advised legally not to put anyone in a situation that may cause harm. We will reevaluate next week for student activities and sports.”
