ROCKDALE, Texas — Rockdale Independent School District has canceled their District-Wide Veterans Day Program due to illnesses circulating through the district.
The event was intended to take place at Rockdale High School on Friday, Nov. 11.
According to the district, a high number of students have contracted strep and flu, and they have made the difficult decision to cancel the program as a precaution to prevent further spreading.
The district stated that they believe it would be best not to bring a large number of students into an area with an aging population of veterans at this time.
There will be a breakfast for veterans on the morning of Nov. 11 from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. at the Community Room in downtown Rockdale. The Community Room is located across from Wolf Park.
