TEMPLE, Texas Temple Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Bobby Ott announced Tuesday there would be no remote learning in the 2021-2022 school year.
Ott said the district would develop and revise the current health and safety protocols that are consistent with local authority guidance.
“Our data shows that students who were enrolled in on-campus learning out-performed their remote learning peers across the board, Ott said. At this point, more than 80% of students in Temple ISD have returned to in-person learning and our health and safety protocols have demonstrated effective results in minimizing the spread of the virus. Temple ISD has not closed a single campus this year due to reaching the 2% threshold as advised by the Bell County Health District.”
A local school district has decided that moving forward with remote learning is no longer necessary or as effective as in-person learning.
According to a press release from Temple Independent School District, Superintendent Dr. Bobby Ott announced April 6 that in-person learning would be the only option available for students in the upcoming 2021-2022 school year. State and local achievement data prove that remote learning does not yield the same
quality learning experiences for students as in-person, Ott writes. Therefore, Temple ISD - in consultation with the Bell County Health District - will open the 2021-2022 school year with in-person education as the sole option for all students.

On Tuesday, Killeen ISD opened the doors of the Former Nolan Middle School Cafeteria and began administering the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to employees who had expressed interest through a district-wide survey.
The district said they immediately began working with the Bell County Health District and Killeen Office of Emergency Management to coordinate the effort once school district employees became eligible for the vaccine last week. Together we have formulated a plan that will allow us to accommodate all interested employees before the end of March, KISD s Chief Communications & Marketing Officer Taina Maya said.
