With the 2020-21 school year officially starting Sept. 8, Houston ISD is opening 36 area campuses to serve as digital learning centers for students who lack technology access for virtual classes.

As many as 18,000 students had not received needed devices, according to a report to the board of trustees Sept. 3. Per guidance from the Texas Education Agency, students without technology access must be provided access at an in-person facility.

Students who have been identified as needing access will be contacted about being assigned to a learning center, according to the district.

The Digital Learning Centers will operate 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and breakfast and lunch will be provided daily at no charge. Students will receive transportation to the designated site from their zoned school, HISD said in the release, with social distancing in effect on the bus. Health screenings will be conducted at each location, and masks are required.
