On the Fraser Coast, Mungar State School, Maryborough Central State School, St Helens State School and Granville State School – will remain closed.
Education Minister Grace Grace said they are hoping to make an announcement tomorrow for the plan for Wednesday.
4BC Drive host Scott Emerson questioned why some parents were told their child’s school was re-opening.
She admitted there had been some confusion from certain schools.
“Incorrect, incorrect I have no idea why the confusion is there, that should never have gone out.”
She urged every parent to head to the Department of Education website.
“I apologise profusely for any misinformation that’s been sent out – I think it might have been a glitch in communication from my department – I apologise, clearly this is now the position without a shadow of a doubt.”
