The district is requiring all students and staff who were on the Carnival Magic cruise ship with the Texas Presbyterian Hospital lab technician to not go to school until the district can confirm that there is no medical threat, Moore Public Schools principal Robert Romines said in a statement sent to district parents via social media, emails and voice messages.
