White County schools acted quickly and closed Monday after Gov. Asa Hutchinson called Sunday for all public schools in the state to close by today and stay closed until after spring break due to concerns over the spread of COVID-19.

“Students received AMI packets for days 1-5 last fall and students in grades 1-12 may interact with their teacher through Google Classroom,” the district posted. Searcy is urging parents and students to check the school’s web and social media sites for up-to-date information throughout the week.
