Brownwood News – On Monday, July 13, Brownwood ISD released the initial draft of the 2020 – 2021 Return to School Plan. In a statement from BISD:
“As we designed this plan, we worked hard to protect the health of all students and staff while creating a challenging instructional experience that fits Brownwood, Texas. There are still a lot of unanswered questions, but we must start now. These guidelines may change significantly before the school year starts on August 19.”
The plan includes:
- detailed health and safety protocols designed to protect students and staff as much as possible.
- information on parental choice of face-to-face instruction or remote instruction.
- restrictions and guidance covering multiple topics such as screening protocols for staff and students, visitor guidelines, masks in line with Governor’s Executive Order GA-29, non-essential large group gatherings, responses to exposure, etc.
Next steps:
- Updates to this plan will be published as guidance is received from local, state, and national agencies.
- Teachers/staff: Please contact your campus principal with suggestions and questions.
- Parents: Watch SchoolMessenger around July 22 for guidance for choosing face-to-face or remote learning.
- General suggestions and questions should be directed to [email protected]
- A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document is being created to help outline the information by topic.
