The University Interscholastic League (UIL) released modifications to the 2020–21 UIL calendar and updated its COVID-19 risk mitigation guidelines. BISD administration just received this information and is thoroughly reviewing it. There is conflicting information between the order received from Tarrant County Public Health and the UIL. The District is confident the two organizations will provide clarifications to school districts in Tarrant County. We will communicate additional details and how the modifications relate to today’s order from Tarrant County Public Health as soon as we are able.

Important Information

July 21, 2020

Dear Birdville ISD Students, Staff, and Families: 

On Tuesday, July 21, Tarrant County Public Health and Human Services issued a Control Order (“the Order”) requiring school districts to start school with virtual learning only through Sunday, Sept. 27. This means that all students and teachers will begin classes in online learning, and BISD will keep buildings closed to students for regular on-campus, face-to-face instruction and activities until after Sept. 27.  

Following the Order, District officials are now adjusting our online learning plan to align with new state requirements. We can assure you that the District is committed to providing high-quality instruction to our students and ongoing support for our staff. Online learning in fall 2020 will be a different model from this past spring’s learning program. BISD will include academic and social/emotional supports to continue to meet the needs of our students and staff, while also meeting state requirements for accountability and student academic progress. Also, staff and students will follow BISD’s grading regulations. 

There is some flexibility in the Order to assist districts with serving students in specific circumstances. We will work quickly and thoroughly on implementation details and will provide additional information to you in the coming days.   

Birdville ISD will continue to monitor guidance that is issued from local health officials, as well as the Texas Education Agency and the Governor. We understand that these ongoing changes are challenging for our students, parents, and staff. We thank you for your continued support, patience, and trust during this uncertain time, and as we respond to these ever-changing requirements and plan for the return of our students and staff. Please continue to monitor our website for updates. 

Sincerely, 

Darrell G. Brown, Ph.D. 
Superintendent

Estimados estudiantes, personal y familias de Birdville ISD: 

El martes 21 de julio, los Servicios Humanos y de Salud Pública del Condado de Tarrant emitieron una Orden de Control (“la Orden”) que requiere que los distritos escolares comiencen las classes con aprendizaje virtual solamente hasta el domingo 27 de septiembre. Esto significa que todos los estudiantes y maestros comenzarán las clases en línea, y BISD mantendrá los edificios cerrados a los estudiantes para la instrucción y actividades presenciales regulares en el campus hasta después del 27 de septiembre. 

Siguiendo la Orden, los funcionarios del Distrito ahora están ajustando nuestro plan de aprendizaje en línea para alinearlo con los nuevos requisitos estatales. Podemos asegurarle que el Distrito está comprometido a proporcionar instrucción de alta calidad a nuestros estudiantes y apoyo continuo para nuestro personal. El aprendizaje en línea en el otoño de 2020 será un modelo diferente del programa de aprendizaje de la primavera pasada. BISD incluirá apoyos académicos y sociales / emocionales para continuar satisfaciendo las necesidades de nuestros estudiantes y personal, al mismo tiempo que cumple con los requisitos estatales de responsabilidad y progreso académico de los estudiantes. Además, el personal y los estudiantes seguirán las normas de calificación de BISD. 

Hay cierta flexibilidad en la Orden para ayudar a los distritos a servir a los estudiantes en circunstancias específicas. Trabajaremos rápida y exhaustivamente en los detalles de implementación y le proporcionaremos información adicional en los próximos días. 

Birdville ISD continuará monitoreando la orientación emitida por los funcionarios locales de salud, así como por la Agencia de Educación de Texas y el Gobernador. Entendemos que estos cambios continuos son un desafío para nuestros estudiantes, padres y personal.
Le agradecemos su continuo apoyo, paciencia y confianza durante este tiempo incierto, y a medida que respondemos a estos requisitos siempre cambiantes y planificamos el regreso de nuestros estudiantes y personal. Continúe monitoreando nuestro sitio web para obtener actualizaciones. 

Sinceramente, 
Darrell G. Brown, Ph.D. 
Superintendente
