Like you, we are working hard to address the many questions\u00a0regarding\u00a0what school will look like\u00a0this\u00a0fall. Will we return fully in person? Will masks and other protocols remain? Will there be a remote learning option? These represent some of the questions we are hearing from our community and are the same ones we are considering as we work with the Texas Education Agency and our state and county leaders.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On June 1, 2021,&nbsp;BISD&nbsp;will&nbsp;return to pre-COVID operations&nbsp;with&nbsp;face-to face instruction and&nbsp;masks being optional in classrooms&nbsp;and District facilities. As of today, our plans are to continue this practice when&nbsp;students&nbsp;return to&nbsp;school&nbsp;in August.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BISD has&nbsp;received&nbsp;a few questions regarding the&nbsp;possibility&nbsp;of continuing the remote learning option into next year.&nbsp;The&nbsp;District&nbsp;is not planning&nbsp;to&nbsp;continue&nbsp;online learning next school year. We long to&nbsp;have&nbsp;our students back in the classroom, learning&nbsp;face-to-face with their teachers&nbsp;and&nbsp;having the much-needed social interaction&nbsp;we\u2019ve all missed&nbsp;for since the pandemic began.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year has presented many challenges to us all. I cannot thank you enough for your flexibility and ongoing support as we continue to navigate the waters of constant change.&nbsp;No&nbsp;matter what&nbsp;modifications&nbsp;are needed for the future, our commitment to educational excellence and serving the needs of every child and family in BISD&nbsp;remains constant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BISD will continue&nbsp;gathering&nbsp;the information needed&nbsp;to make the best decisions for the fall&nbsp;semester, and&nbsp;will communicate those decisions to you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and continued trust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely, <br>Dr. Darrell G.
