FROM DR. BARRETT POLLARD
"Unfortunately, the delta variant of COVID-19 is impacting our students and staff. Covid testing at Coryell Health is at record numbers, while they are also seeing record numbers of covid-related patients. Our local medical officials have asked for the school and community's help in combating the virus. As opposed to a mask mandate defying the current directives of the governor, the board approved the district "strongly recommending" masks for our students, staff, and any visitors at all campuses for the month of September. We will then re-evaluate the situation at the end of the month. Students and adults are free to make their own decision on whether or not they wear a mask. WIth the current uptick in cases, however, many students and staff have already started wearing masks. Any help in slowing the spread is greatly appreciated."
