Beaumont ISD is aware of Governor Greg Abbott’s Executive Order suspending the Texas face-covering mandate effective March 10, 2021. A top priority of our district is providing a safe learning environment for all students and staff. In keeping with this priority, BISD, including partner campuses, PLA and ResponsiveEd, will continue with its current protocol that requires facial coverings for all students and staff.
Parents, students and staff should be aware that the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) quarantine requirements in which our district follows, have not changed. If students or staff members are exposed to COVID-19 without a face covering, they will be required to meet all state-mandated reentry protocols, including completion of a mandatory seven to 10-day quarantine. The District will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure that students who elect to attend school face-to-face are provided the opportunity to do so.
The District is currently reviewing the Executive Order and seeking guidance from TEA. BISD thanks all students, staff, and parents for your continued support and understanding as we work to provide a safe learning environment.
