Medina ISD goes temporarily remote through February 19

By Jessica Nohealapa’ahi Goode

In a press release released online, Medina ISD Superintendent Kevin Newsom said the school district has staff shortages due to employees “being in quarantine from close contact of Covid-19 outside of the school setting.” Newsom said bus drivers, auxilliary staff and teachers are all affected.
The district transitioned to a temporary remote learning setting yesterday, and classes are expected to return to in-person on Monday, Feb. 22.
“MISD is not closing school to quarantine. We are moving to remote learning due to a lack of personnel to conduct school efficiently and safely,” Newsom said.
Weather permitting, extra-curricular activities and athletics are expected to continue as scheduled.
The district has exercised short-lived shifts to remote learning for certain campuses throughout this school year, erring on the side of caution when positive cases were identified.
“We have been extremely fortunate this year to have spent most of our time in the classroom learning, however when safety becomes an issue in areas such as transportation and staffing, we feel it is in the best interest to switch to our remote learning plan,” Newsom said. “This plan was put together so that student learning is not disrupted in these circumstances. All students are required to participate in remote learning.”
