  • Leading Students to Success

    The challenge involved in providing an excellent educational experience for the many, varied students in our district is a challenge that requires dedication and creativity in the best of times. The year 2020, however, was not the best of times. The past year required an unusual combination of skills and talents from district leaders. Unexpected circumstances resulted in changes in laws and regulations, and those statewide changes required adaptability, quick problem solving, teamwork, and leadership at the district level. Navigating through unfamiliar waters became a daily task, complicated by the differing opinions and desires of various constituents. These uncertain and sometimes treacherous circumstances created challenges for even the most seasoned among us. A steady hand on the rudder was absolutely required, and that’s exactly what our district’s board provided. Our trustees came through when we needed them most this year, charting a course that protected our most vulnerable, while ensuring that academic progress could continue for all students. It was a daunting situation, but they navigated to success with unerring determination. Board service is a volunteer effort, accepted by only a few in the community. It is a tough job with no salary. It is a critically important job that requires an election and then mandated training. It is a responsibility that takes time, a mature outlook, and careful decision-making. School board members are the largest group of elected officials in the state, numbering more than 7,000 statewide. They are farmers, doctors, business owners, retirees, and young professionals. They are people you see in the store, at the game, and in your neighborhood. They are often overlooked, but their contributions cannot be overstated. They are shaping tomorrow. Take a moment to recognize your local trustees. Take a moment to honor the work they are doing to help your students sail into the future. Take a moment to say thank you for the work school board members are doing on behalf of your students and community. Join me in celebrating School Board Recognition Month throughout the month of January.

  • New TEA & CDC Guidance

    As many of you may have heard in the news, the CDC has established some new guidance in regards to "close-contact quarantining." Yesterday, we received updated public health guidance from the TEA as well. TEA released the following: For individuals who are close contacts to individuals who tested positive, a 14-day stay-at-home period was previously advised by the CDC based on the incubation period of the virus. As of December 2, 2020, the CDC amended their guidance to allow two shorter options for the stay at-home period. Based on current CDC guidance, the stay-at-home period can end for individuals experiencing no symptoms: On Day 10 after close contact exposure without testing, On Day 7 after close contact exposure and after receiving a negative test result. (this test must be administered at least 5 days after the last close contact exposure) When individuals return to school from these shorter stay-at-home windows, they should regularly monitor themselves for symptoms to ensure they remain symptom-free and take appropriate precautions (e.g., more consistent mask usage) for the duration of the 14-day incubation period.  We believe that returning our staff and students to the classroom as soon as we can safely do so is important. So, based on this new information from CDC and TEA, Breckenridge ISD will begin to implement the new quarantine guidance immediately. As always, if you or any member of the BISD community begins experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms in a way that his not typical, we encourage you to contact your physician. We also encourage anyone in the BISD community who is confirmed to have COVID-19 to please notify our school immediately. Please do your very best to keep yourself, your family, and our community safe and healthy.
