COVID-19
Thank you for your patience and support as we work together for the health, safety and well-being of everyone in our STISD community. We continue to monitor updates for COVID-19 from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as local, state and federal organizations.
STISD has been busy throughout the spring and summer preparing for the 2020-2021 school year and our return to campuses and offices this fall. When our staff and students return to our facilities, they will find a "new normal," consisting of practices, procedures and precautions in place to better ensure the health and safety of our district community.
In planning for this school year, we researched guidelines, recommendations and best practices and found ways to embed these into our day-to-day practices at STISD. The goal of this plan is to provide the safest learning and working environment possible. Our "Safe Return to Work and School Plan" is guided by two principles:
- Safety of all in their work and learning environment
- Clear communication throughout the crisis
This plan is a working document, and we will continue to update it as circumstances, knowledge and guidance change.
