HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) A Spring Branch ISD family said the district isn t taking the pandemic seriously enough. The family wanted the district to waive a requirement that virtual learners take some of their final exams on campus.
Mason Kalkofen and his parents, Margarita and Karl, told Eyewitness News he showed up to Spring Woods High School Wednesday in full personal protective gear. They worried about him contracting the virus on campus and spreading it to his mother who is at high risk and could suffer severe medical complications. I m having to go in a hazmat suit, said Mason. That way I can protect my family.
