CANCEL THE TESTS
26 Oct 2020 | Your TXSBOE1 office wrote a letter to Governor Abbott and TEA Commissioner Mike Morath asking them to cancel the STAAR, TELPAS, and all EOC exams for the 2020-21 school year. There's no way the data is reliable and there's no reason to burden our students and teachers even more by administering high-stakes tests, especially during a pandemic.

23 Oct 2020 | Given Region 19's current COVID-19 hospitalization percentage, the region is currently in the "Red Zone." School systems in the region will continue to offer remote instruction for all families that choose remote instruction. For those families that choose on campus attendance, it will be provided as well; however, access to on campus instruction may be restricted by a school system as described below depending upon the level of COVID-19 hospitalizations as a percentage of total hospitalizations in the Trauma Service Area (TSA).
