BLINN MOVES BACK DATE OF ‘PHASE 2’ START UP

  

Blinn College is pushing back the start of Phase 2 of their employee’s return to campus.

Blinn Chancellor Dr. Mary Hensley says while Phase 2 was scheduled to begin Monday, July 20^th, in light of current COVID conditions throughout the state, they are moving the Phase 2 start date back two weeks to Monday, August 3^rd.

In an update Thursday, Hensley says the move was made, “In light of current COVID conditions, and out of an abundance of caution for the health and safety of (the) campus community.

Employees returning for duty in Phase 2 will be notified by their supervisors by July 20^th.

Phase 3 will begin on Monday, August 17^th, and employees returning for duty will be notified by Monday, August 3^rd.

Hensley says this remains a flexible plan and administrators will continue to adjust the schedule based upon the guidance of public health officials.

Hensley also reminds everyone that at 6 p.m. each Tuesday through August 11^th, Blinn will host question-and-answer sessions on Facebook Live regarding fall operations. These live streams will be available on Blinn’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/BlinnCollege1883.
