Each district is monitoring the situation daily. Some districts, like Lake Travis ISD, said they are prepared to deploy their online learning services if necessary. 

On Thursday, Eanes ISD issued students grades K-5 district-issued devices to use in the case the district closes schools.

Austin ISD said it will be canceling large gatherings, field trips, field days, spring break camps and outside building rentals through April 3. UIL events are being considered on a case-by-case basis.
