November 4, 2020

Dear Coleman ISD:

The COVID-19 situation is changing rapidly at Coleman ISD. There are currently several positive COVID-19 cases in the district as well as many pending cases, we want to be proactive in providing educational services during very unpredictable times.

Based on information received this morning (November 4) in meetings with county health officials, TEA, Region 15, and administrators Coleman ISD will begin remote learning Thursday, November 5, 2020 to November 20, 2020. During this time there will be no extra-curricular activities. 

Based on the ever-changing nature of this situation, administrators will continue to meet and adjust as needed. We all understand these are decisions that have huge impacts on our community on multiple fronts. We appreciate your patience as we work through unpredictable times. Please monitor the website and social media accounts for updated information. As of today, all campuses plan to reopen to students on November 30, 2020 following the Thanksgiving break. Details surrounding these openings will be communicated in the future.

We also learned from Coleman Head Coach/Athletic Director, John Elder, that the decision will end the Bluecat football season and that Goldthwaite and De Leon will play for Coleman’s spot in the playoffs.  This also ends Coleman’s volleyball season, a team which was scheduled to compete in the Regional Quarterfinals tomorrow night and ends the Cross Country team’s trip to the Regional meet.
