SCS Superintendent Joris Ray.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Shelby County School board says students will not be back in the classroom until early April.

In an e-mail sent on Monday, the district extended the return date from March 31 to April 6.


The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends schools to close for 8 weeks.

SCS says it is looking into the risks and short term and long term impacts of such a closure.

The district says it will go elaborate on the closure plan on Wednesday
