Tyler ISD continues with previously approved 20-21 calendar

TYLER — TISD said in a news brief on Tuesday, they will proceed with the previously approved 20-21 School year calendar. The District has a start date of August 19th, and is planning to end next year on May 26th. District leaders have given consideration to multiple scenarios and factors surrounding COVID-19. The District will attach any missed instructional days, to the end of the calendar, pushing the last day of school past the planned May 26 date.

Currently, the District is putting systems in place to help reduce lost instruction should additional long-term closures occur in the future. Such systems include a more robust remote learning environment through the adoption of the Canvas learning management system. The District is also redesigning its instructional technology plan to provide 1:1 devices for K-12 students and classroom teachers, along with WiFi connectivity dispersed across Tyler ISD’s 200 square mile district through hotspots provided at District facilities and community partner sites.
