LISD VIRTUAL LEARNING UPDATE
Lewisville ISD recently learned from the Texas Education Agency the district will not receive funding for full-time virtual learning. Without that funding, LISD will not be able to move forward with their plans for a full-time virtual learning option, therefore all students will attend school in-person next year. They are happy to welcome students back to campus in August and an in-person schedule will be generated for all students based on course selections from the spring semester.
