Welcome to the Council Bluffs Community School District’s Health Information account. This is an official account made by the Council Bluffs Community Schools to provide updated information to our district residents about COVID-19.

Message from Superintendent Dr. Murillo sent to district residents on March 12, 2020.

CB Schools will remain in session. This decision was made after careful consideration and upon the guidance of Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, the Iowa Departments of Education and Public Health, and the local Pott County COVID-19 Response Task Force. Learn more: cb-schools.org/site/default.a…

The most common question we have been asked is about the option to keep your children home from school. We absolutely respect the choice of parents, and will support you in that decision by excusing those absences. Read more below or at: cb-schools.org/cms/lib/IA0220…
