GALVESTON, Texas – The coronavirus pandemic has had a major impact on the education of students across the country. Now, school districts across the Greater Houston area are laying out their plans to help students get back on track.
Several schools, including Parker Elementary School and Ball High School in Galveston, have already created programs to help students get back on track.
National data shows it could take three to four years to close the gap, but Galveston Independent School District is determined to cut it down to two years.
Will Houston-area schools reopen Monday? Depends on the water, education leaders say
