SAN ANTONIO — Blanco Independent School District has made the decision to shift to remote learning as San Antonio and the surrounding area have seen an increase in coronavirus cases.
In a letter sent out to Blanco ISD families Thursday afternoon, the district said, in part:
As a district, we have been monitoring closely the Covid-19 situation in our community. As you are aware, when making decisions we have to consider our staff and student's safety first and foremost. We have determined that it is in the best interest of our staff and students to shift all instruction on all campuses to a remote learning environment.
The district plans to begin remote learning Thursday, November 12, and end on Friday, November 20.
Parents also received a reminder that their students have a student holiday on Wednesday, November 18.
