Conroe ISD will begin the 2020-21 school year with remote learning for all of its students until Sept. 8, according to an update on the district’s website written by Superintendent Curtis Null.

The decision came after a continued rise in COVID-19 cases in the county and with advice from the Montgomery County Public Health District. Families are still encouraged to select either remote or in-person instruction for when campuses open.

“Whether we are able to begin offering Traditional In-Person Instruction will depend on whether our community is able to maintain a significant reduction in cases,” Null wrote.

The district will host a livestream July 23 at 6 p.m. to answer questions about the topic on its YouTube channel. The reopening website is also being updated regularly.
