After months of planning, Graham ISD will begin the 2020-2021 school year Monday with in-person learning taking place for the first time since the beginning of spring break on March 16. The school year begins after two schedule changes and months of preparations as teachers were forced to plan around circumstances they have never experienced in their careers.
Initially, the start date for the school year was scheduled for Aug. 24. To create more days to account for COVID-19, the date was moved to Aug. 17. Finally, the date was changed to Monday.
“As I like to say normally this time of year, ready or not here we come,” said Graham ISD Superintendent Sonny Cruse. “I had a chance (Wednesday) to visit with almost all of the teachers on all three campuses. They feel like they’re ready to go as well as they can be and they appreciated the extra time.”
