The Deweyville ISD COVID-19 safety team met this week to review and update our guidelines to ensure that the guidelines: 

·prioritize safety and continuity of operations,

·are aligned with current best practice recommendations,

·are clearly communicated, and

·are consistently enforced.

 This pandemic has created such a dynamic and evolving landscape that literally every possible solution can be viewed in contrast with past decisions and portrayed as unfair. Therefore, the team was asked to plan from a clean slate, making decisions based not on what was in place yesterday, but entirely on what is best for our students tomorrow. I believe that the efforts of the team have resulted in a plan that not only sets forth reasonable expectations but will also bring a focus onto more consistent application of the agreed upon guidelines.

The updated COVID plan becomes effective Monday, October 26. It can be found on the district website along with the most recent versions of the relevant guiding documents. If you have a question, please contact your campus administrator.
