Kids Kare to reopen June 1 GISD board votes no changes to calendar
Though business operations throughout the state are gradually returning per the phase system implemented by Texas Governor Greg Abbott, many questions remain for the eventual re-opening of public schools. At time of publication, no word has yet been given by Abbott’s Office or Commissioner of Education Mike Morath regarding when public schools will be allowed to open for the upcoming fall semester; however, after much discussion, Groesbeck ISD Board Members unanimously voted to keep the 2020-2021 school calendar that was approved two months prior. In the ZOOM video-conference meeting on Monday, May 18, board members heard from campus principals, Superintendent Dr. James Cowley, and Assistant Superintendent Dr. Diane Freeman about changes that could be made to prepare for potential shutdowns, should a dangerous spike in COVID-19 cases occur in the first semester and prompt the state to call for temporary school closures.
