Aldine ISD - as of August 13, 2021

SCHOOL START DATE: August 16, 2021

MASKS REQUIRED? YES

VIRTUAL OPTION? UNCLEAR

"Following guidance from the Harris County Health Department and County Judge Lina Hidalgo’s most recent order — and as we watch case counts continue to rise — we are mandating that all staff, students, and visitors wear a mask on all Aldine ISD buses and when visiting campuses and administrative buildings. This is effective, Monday, August 16, 2021. 

We were able to keep our students and staff safe last year, in large part, due to universal masking. It has been proven that the three Ws — wearing a mask, washing your hands, and watching your distance — effectively prevent the spread of the virus. We will continue to share this message with our community.

We are pleased to share with you that Alief ISD will continue the protocols in the District’s Safe Return Plan and maintain the practice of protecting our most vulnerable students who are too young to obtain the COVID-19 vaccination and our staff who are unable to receive the vaccine due to underlying health conditions, by continuing to expect staff and students to voluntarily wear masks while in school facilities. In the event our COVID-19 protocols are expected to change, we will promptly notify you. We sincerely appreciate Alief ISD’s parents, staff, and students' assistance in ensuring we provide a safe learning environment by choosing to wear masks when needed and adhering to district COVID-19 protocols.

Yesterday, August 12, 2021, the Harris County Local Health Authority issued an order regarding COVID-19 protocols for public schools located within Harris County. In a school district located in two counties, governed by an independent school board of trustees, and required to follow the laws of the State of Texas and rules of the Texas Education Agency, Clear Creek ISD will continue to comply with Governor Greg Abbott’s Executive Order which prohibits a school district from mandating face coverings be worn indoors.

We know face coverings, frequent hand washing, keeping your distance from others, and staying home when sick will slow the spread of COVID-19.

Huffman ISD - as of August 13, 2021

SCHOOL START DATE: August 18, 2021

MASKS REQUIRED? NO

VIRTUAL OPTION? NO

"Last Thursday, the Texas Education Agency reiterated that students and staff may wear masks if they choose, and we would certainly encourage everyone who feels the need to do so. While we are excited to reach a stage where masks are no longer needed, evidence points to their effectiveness in protection against the spread of the virus. Our students under the age of 12 currently are not able to get the vaccine, and we want to protect them as much as possible.

Our top priority is to keep our students and staff safe and healthy at school. It is critical for students' development and overall academic achievement to be physically present on our campuses. At this time, there will not be a remote learning option for this school year; however, secondary students will receive their devices within the first few weeks of school."

Humble ISD - as of August 12, 2021

SCHOOL START DATE: August 10, 2021

MASKS REQUIRED? NO

VIRTUAL OPTION? UNCLEAR

"Today, Harris County issued an order related to masks and other COVID-19 related directives. 

The Harris County Order conflicts with the Governor’s order, which states that no person may be required by any jurisdiction to wear or to mandate the wearing, of a face covering and that public schools may operate under guidance issued by the Texas Education Agency.

Because the orders conflict, Humble ISD will continue with its current COVID protocols. Face masks remain optional in Humble ISD."

Katy ISD - as of August 13, 2021

SCHOOL START DATE: August 18, 2021

MASKS REQUIRED? UNDER REVIEW

VIRTUAL OPTION? Only for grades K-6

"In a few short days, Katy ISD will open our school doors and welcome back over 87,000 students to begin another year of learning and growing. Our teachers and staff will do what our District has been known to do for many years, and that is to provide a world-class education to all of our students.

"Unfortunately we find ourselves in a familiar situation continuing to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. On the Katy ISD website you can find the Safe Return to School Plan. Just this week Katy ISD launched an opportunity for students in grades K-6 to enroll in virtual instruction through October 15th. The main reason we have launched this option is because a COVID-19 vaccine has yet to be approved for children under 12. We have also re-instated the COVID-19 rapid testing for employees, and once TEA resumes providing the test kits, students will have access to free testing as well. Please continue to watch the website as adjustments to the plan are sometimes necessary based on new guidance issued by state agencies.

Similar to last year, once again, school districts find themselves embroiled in the polarizing viewpoints concerning face coverings in schools. If you have been following the news throughout Texas, there appears to be a political battle as to who has the authority to regulate Texas public schools. Katy ISD finds itself in a unique position as we are situated in three counties. I understand the uncertainties of the political landscape surrounding this situation can be frustrating for our families. I will not allow Katy ISD to become a political football when the conflict exists between state and local elected officials.

"Last school year, Katy ISD along with all public school districts in Texas, followed the Executive Orders issued by Governor" Abbott as well as the public health guidance provided by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). It is my intention that Katy ISD will continue to follow the TEA public health guidance and Governor Abbott’s Executive Orders just as we did in the 2020-2021 school year. The CDC and local health officials recommend indoor masking of students, staff, and visitors in schools. For students and staff who choose to wear a facial covering for their personal protection, I support and encourage that recommendation.

"In closing, it is essential that I remain focused upon things within our control. I ask and encourage all of our families and staff continue to implement practices that will keep everyone safe. Students and staff should be excited and looking forward to a new school year. I can’t wait to see our students back on campuses and participating in school activities."

Last night, August 12, 2021, the Harris County local health authority shared information contradicting Executive Order GA-38 issued by Governor Abbott, which currently prohibits school districts from issuing mask mandates. We are aware that this contradicting guidance is currently being litigated in the courts. Klein ISD will continue to seek legal advice and to follow the previously communicated health and safety plan, which includes an option, but not a mandate, to wear masks on campus.

We appreciate your support in adhering to our health and safety plan, and we look forward to welcoming our students back on Wednesday, August 18."

"Today, we received word that the Texas Supreme Court has ruled in support of the Governor’s Executive Order which prohibits school districts from following mask mandates issued by their counties. We understand this ruling applied to other large Texas counties; however, after guidance from legal counsel and in anticipation of a similar ruling for Harris County, the ruling sends a signal to all school districts statewide of the Texas Supreme Court’s opinion. Therefore, Sheldon ISD will follow Governor Abbott’s Executive Order which states masks are optional for students and staff. 

"We apologize for any confusion this is causing. The law continues to change, and as a government entity, we must do our due diligence to ensure we are in compliance, as well as find an action that provides consistency for children. Sheldon ISD encourages individuals to follow the CDC guidelines and wear facial coverings inside school buildings to control the spread of COVID. Masks are optional in Sheldon ISD schools.
