BRENHAM ISD LAYS OUT 2020-21 SCHOOL REOPENING PLAN
Brenham ISD has put out the framework for how instruction will take place for the new school year.
The district’s reopening plan will include two instructional models for when classes resume on Wednesday, August 19th: on campus, face-to-face instruction and remote/virtual learning.
Parents are being asked to choose the preferred instruction option for their students in a survey, which is now available to take at www.brenhamisd.net. They are asked to submit their responses no later than next Friday, July 24th. In the next few weeks, parents should receive a commitment form that will commit their students to the selected instruction method for at least one grading period.
In a Facebook address Thursday night, Interim Superintendent Huey Kinchen encouraged parents and staff to complete the surveys, as the district will use the feedback received to shape what school looks like in the fall.
The reopening plan also goes over safety guidelines for on-campus learning, such as the creation of a COVID-19 Response Team consisting of district and campus administrators that will plan for and respond to COVID-19 concerns.
If a positive case is identified in a school participant, the district will identify and notify any individuals who had regular or close contact with the affected participant. Those individuals will be required to quarantine for 14 days before returning to in-person school. Masks will be required for all staff, visitors, and students in grades 5-12. Students in Pre-K through 4th grade will be highly encouraged to wear masks.
