school safety

After the Uvalde school shooting in May, safety is top of mind for families and educators as they start the new school year.

Schools have reported more than 50,000 coronavirus cases in Texas. Meanwhile the state legislature focuses on pushing controversial bills, and the governor sues schools and cities to stop them from mandating preventative measures.

The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District issued a new health directive Tuesday evening, requiring masks be worn in all Bexar County public schools to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Wednesday morning, the superintendent of San Antonio’s largest school district told his principals to disregard the mandate until further notice.

Families instead are opting to send their children to school in person now that masks are required in school buildings.

A Bexar County District judge will allow the City of San Antonio and Bexar County to issue mask mandates for school districts. Judge Antonia Arteaga granted a temporary restraining order against the state of Texas. The order halts a ban on school districts, cities and counties from enforcing mask mandates.
