In collaboration with the Governor’s Strike Force and the Texas Department of Emergency Management, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) was procured to help school systems reopen for the 2020-2021 school year. This document details what has been procured and provides immediate next steps for school systems.
TEA also issued guidance titled “Summer Instruction, Activities and School Visits: Guidance for Reopening and Student Interaction.” The guidance is intended for in-school instruction and visits by students, teachers, and staff, as part of summer learning, instructional, and administrative activities.
Guidance has also been updated for Graduation and End-of-Year Promotion Ceremonies for those districts who are still working on those plans.
Finally, TEA issued “Training and Conditioning Guidance for Non-UIL Activities.” For guidance on UIL activities, see the UIL website at https://www.uiltexas.org/covid-19-information. For non-UIL activities, schools may, but are not required to, begin conditioning, training, and/or instruction beginning June 9, under the requirements set out in this new guidance. It is also recommended that each school identify a compliance officer to oversee effective use of the outlined protocols.
