Brownwood News – The Brownwood School Board this week received a report on how local students performed during the COVID-19 response March through May.  Deputy Superintendent, Liesa Land, provided the update.

The number of students that have shown no progress through the COVID-19 off-campus instruction period is now only 50 out of 3,436 students in the district. Land noted that the BISD teachers, principals, counselors, and staff have done a great job reaching out, contacting parents, and communicating through the pandemic.

Land also indicated that even though 50 students is only around 1.5% of the total in the district, school officials are still working to reach all of them.

The district is planning for school according to the previously board-approved 2020-21 calendar.  Though there is still some uncertainty as to what school will look like, BISD is actively preparing multiple options and will be ready to provide education services to students.
