Katy ISD will still allow parents to choose whether their children should learn in person or virtually for the 2020-21 fall semester, according to a July 20 letter from the Katy ISD superintendent.
This letter comes after the Texas Education Agency announced July 17 districts can suspend in-person instruction at least eight weeks at the start of the school year and after Harris County urged districts July 20 to provide remote instruction for pre-K through 12th grade students until at least October.
In the July 20 letter, KISD Superintendent Ken Gregorski said the district will continue with its reopening plan that allows a choice for online or in-person instruction and follows the approved academic calendar. KISD published a webpage with details on its reopening plan July 13.
“Should there be a future need for a temporary delay of in-person instruction, teaching and learning would be delivered primarily through virtual learning,” Gregorski said in the letter. “However, as of today, both instructional options remain available to our families.”
