TxSP Update on COVID 19 and School Closures
To our subscribing districts: TxSP understands that districts are overwhelmed with MANY daily emails concerning school closures and remote learning. Many of our districts have requested that TxSP minimize all the "words" and help the districts get to the nitty gritty of how do I plan, what forms can I use, and what protocols can help us whittle everything to "make compliance easier" (which is our Motto!). Any of the posted TxSP plans for school closings can become a part of the District's EOP.
To districts who do not subscribe: please feel free to use what we are providing our subscribers as a guide for what you may wish to develop. We are offering special pricing - 50% off - for school districts who wish to subscribe and get immediate access.
