MORA INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT - WATER SYSTEM UPDATE
We are pleased to report that the water leak near the entrance to the school has been repaired, and water service has been restored. Thank you to the men and women who worked diligently to assess and repair the leak.
We are meeting with Mora Mutual Domestic Water and Sewer Association (MDWSA) staff at 2:00 p.m. today to discuss the situation. Please continue to use caution in this area as work is coordinated.
Regarding water safety, MDWSA has issued a system-wide precautionary boil-water advisory while bacteriological testing is completed. Our Food Services Department is prepared to follow the necessary precautions, including boiling water used for cooking. We are also confirming guidance with MDWSA regarding the use of our filtered drinking fountains. We are also exploring bottled water options for drinking. Stay tuned for more information.
We will provide another update as soon as we receive confirmation about water safety and any additional information affecting school operations or scheduled activities.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, and for the continued support of our partners at MDWSA as we work through this situation.

Crews from our partners at Mora Mutual Domestic Water Association are working on a water leak near the entrance of the school. This will necessitate shutting off water until damage is assessed and repaired. MISD does not have any scheduled events or activities today (Saturday, October 17). Please keep the area clear to allow crews to do their work. We will monitor the situation and make any announcements affecting Sunday athletic/rec league practices as soon as practical, as well as any impacts to instruction for the coming week.Thank you.

Mora Independent Schools will operate on a normal schedule with in-person instruction today, Wednesday, September 30.
We received rain in the area throughout much of the night; however, precipitation has subsided. Campus grounds have some pooled water in the typical areas near the guard shack, the parking lot between the cafeteria and high school gym, and the basketball courts behind the gym, but conditions are relatively minor at this time.
Bus #2 (Monte Aplanado route) will not operate today. All other operations will proceed as normal. Students who ride Bus #2 can complete work remotely and will be allowed to make-up today's work.
We will continue to monitor weather and campus conditions throughout the day and will communicate any changes if conditions warrant.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and support. Student and staff safety remains our highest priority.
