WORSHAM
By J.J. Maldonado CBS19 Recent Longview High School graduate Matthew Hanson, 18, is no stranger to volunteer work. Hanson and his mother have been making face masks to pass out to family, friends and anyone who needs one amid the COVID-19 panHANSON demic. “We thought it would be a good idea to make those and hand them out around town,”Matthew said. “We’ve just been passing them out to anyone who ask for them, basically,” he said. As the pandemic forced schools to switch to distance learning, Matthew found himself at home with the extra time to put his skills to the test. “I’m still getting some people, friends from school asking if I can make their school mask,” he said. During his time at Longview, Matthew was part of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program. “It’s going to prepare you for college,” Matthew said. Matthew plans on attending the University of Arkansas in the fall. Grad|Continued to page 16

Despite complications, the census is important By Donna Kallner The Daily Yonder For most people, replying to the 2020 census is surprisingly quick and easy. Except when it’s not. And rural areas are particularly prone to conditions that can hinder getting a complete and accurate count — things like limited high-speed internet access, addressing and mail delivery challenges, and resistance to perceived government nosiness. As if that isn’t enough, factor in concerns about COVID-19, widespread social unrest, and economic worries that make the Great Recession feel like Happy Days in comparison. No wonder many of us want to be left alone while we wait for better days to return. But like voting and jury duty, the census is an important (if not beloved) civic duty. Despite multiplying complications, the 2020 census is getting done. As of June 18, 61.5% of households had responded to
the census. here in the Yonder we As a census workhaven’t forgotten to love er, I’ve done my best our neighbor.

Update Leave (UL) is one of the census enumeration area types. That’s the operation I worked in March, before my state’s COVID-19 shutdown, and again in May and June. Most households in the United States (95.45%) receive a census form in the mail. Where mail delivery to an actual street address isn’t feasible, Census workers deliver the census questionnaires in person. So your rural area may be in a UL unit if your only mail delivery option is via Post Office boxes. The Census Bureau does not mail census forms to P.O. boxes because each census response must be associated with the physical location where people live, not where they receive mail. Other rural areas are divided into “blocks” that are analyzed for their “mailability.” All deserve to be counted. So if you haven’t already, please respond now. — Donna Kallner writes from rural northern Wisconsin.

Governor issues order requiring masks Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued Executive Order GA-29 on Thursday, July 2, requiring Texans to wear face coverings in public in any county with more than 20 positive COVID-19 cases including Gregg and Harrison counties. The order applies to all commercial entities, buildings and spaces open to the public, including outdoors, wherever it is not feasible to maintain six feet of social distancing from those outside your household. The exceptions to his order include: Children under 10 years old; Anyone with a medical condition or disability that prevents wearing a face covering; Eating or drinking, or seated in a restaurant to eat or drink; Exercising or engaging in physical activity outdoors (as long as distance is maintained); Driving alone or with passengers from the same household; Obtaining a service that requires temporary removal of the face covering for security surveillance, screening or a need for specific access to the face (i.e. WARE |Continued from page 1 jump to one of the top schools in the state.

The governor also issued a proclamation giving mayors and county judges the ability to impose restrictions on outdoor gatherings larger than 10 people.

State food benefit program extended AUSTIN — Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday announced the Texas Health and Human Services Commission is extending the application deadline for the federal Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer program to July 31, extending the time eligible families can apply for food benefits. The program is a one-time benefit of $285 per eligible child, and can be used in the same way as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits to pay for groceries. Eligible families include those with children who lost access to free or reduced-price school meals through the National School Lunch Program due to school closures. “The extension of the P-EBT deadline helps ensure that Texans have time to apply for this program and provide nutritious food to their families as the state continues to combat COVID-19,” Abbott said in a prepared statement. “Ensuring access to healthy food in our communities is an important part of our response to this pandemic.” Added Texas Health and Human Services Commission Access and Eligibility Deputy Executive Commissioner Wayne Salter: “We remain committed to ensuring access to healthy and nutritious foods for eligible Texans, and P-EBT provides that to those who need it most. This extension provides more time for families to apply for this emergency assistance.” More than three million children in Texas were certified to receive free or reduced-price meals at school during the 2019-2020 school year, the governor explained. Families who are eligible for P-EBT were notified by their school districts in May. After completing the online application, families receive their benefits on a new Texas P-EBT card in the mail. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission partnered with the Texas Department of Agriculture and the Texas Education Agency to launch the $1 billion federal program on June 1 in response to the coronavirus pandemic. To date, nearly $700 million in benefits have been issued to families, officials said, benefiting more than 2.5 million children. Visit hhs.texas.gov/pebt to learn more about P-EBT. For questions regarding eligibility
or to learn more, people may also contact the P-EBT Call Center at 833-613-6220, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central Standard Time. When applying, it is especially important to include a valid phone number on each application. State employees may need to call families to get additional information to approve P-EBT benefits.
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
About the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program SNAP provides nutrition benefits to supplement the food budget of families in need, so they can purchase healthy food and move toward self-sufficiency. In Texas, SNAP benefits are put onto the Lone Star Card (EBT card), which can be used just like a credit card at any store that accepts SNAP. Texas Health and Human Services administers the federal program throughout the state. P-EBT follows the same program rules as SNAP, including foods and purchase options.
SCHOOL MEAL PROGRAMS
The federally funded School Meal Programs include the School Breakfast Program (SBP) and NSLP. The School Meal Programs serve more than 5 million meals a day to Texas children in school and residential child care institutions.

Masks, gloves, sanitizers needed for schools By Daarel Burnette II Education Week For the last several weeks, medical supply vendors have swamped Martin Pollio with flyers, emails, and phone calls. He’s one of their most sought-after customers. Pollio, the superintendent of the 100,000-student Jefferson County district in Louisville, Ky., has made tentative plans to reopen school buildings this fall. To do so, he estimates his district will need to spend close to $10 million on face masks alone, in order to abide by recently issued state health guidelines. “We understand that the safety and health of our stu-

interest in your child’s learning experience and participate in our school activities.” Worsham believes that now “is the time (to become a teacher). Students need who appreciate education and the many directions it can send you in life. If you’re passionate about learning and leading students to WORSHAM learn, this is the place for you.” As for anyone who might wish to become a principal, Worsham believes that it is a position that is not easy but is well worth pushing for. “We need good leaders in our public schools. We need people with the vision required to push education forward,” Worsham said. “It’s not an easy path, but it’s certainly one that is worth taking. Just the process required to earn those degrees and certifications will teach you much more about education and make you a better educator.” Worsham has a Bachelor’s of Science from Stephen F. Austin State University (2010), a Master’s of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from A&M Commerce (2019), a Master’s of Education in Education Administration from A&M Commerce (2020) and is working on his Doctorate of Education in Education Administration from A&M Commerce. We are so thankful that Worsham has joined all of our amazing teachers and staff at Ware and we can’t wait to see what they can do together!

He’s meeting a lot of resisRAMSEY tance — a fair amount of it from the people in his GOP base. Abilene initially said it wouldn’t enforce the governor’s close-the-bars order, and then apologized, sort of: “The City
of Abilene never intended to imply an intention to disregard the Governor’s Executive Order, or support any kind of action by citizens or business owners in contradiction to the Executive Order. The City apologizes for any lack of clar-
ity in earlier messaging on the matter.” The city still won’t enforce Abbott’s order, leaving that to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission and others, but said it will encourage its businesses and citizens to “use
common sense” and to do what the governor says “to the best of their ability.” Bar owners from all over the state are suing for the right to stay open during the pandemic. Here’s a choice quote about the governor from their lawyer, former Harris County GOP Chairman Jared Woodfill: “Why does he continue unilaterally acting like a king? He’s sentencing bar owners to bankruptcy.” State Rep. Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler, took a swipe at the governor in a weekend tweet: “Pain. Frustration. Sadness. Confusion. Desperation. Anger.

Survey: Most parents would send kids to school in fall By Steven Reinberg U.S. News About two-thirds of U.S. parents say they’ll send their kids to school again this fall, and most also support COVID-19 testing and social distancing policies for schoolchildren, a new survey finds. Among parents, only about 12% said they would not send at least one of their kids to school, while 21% were still uncertain about their decision. Many are waiting to hear more about their schools’ plans. Many parents said they had no choice but to send their children to school because they had to work. For many families, a surge in COVID-19 cases would make them reconsider sending children to school, the survey found. Most did support measures to safeguard kids against the new Coronavirus. Those measures could include fewer children on buses, daily temperature screening, alternating classroom and online learning, testing school staff and requiring staff and older kids to wear masks, researchers report. For the report, researchers from the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research Center at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, surveyed nearly 1,200 parents in Michigan, Ohio and Illinois in June. “Families are facing a challenging decision regarding

whether to send their children to school for in-person classes in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic,” said researcher Dr. Kao-Ping Chua, a pediatrician at Michigan Medicine C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital. “On the one hand, sending children to school could increase the risk of COVID-19 among children and family members. On the other hand, children who don’t return to
in-person school may experience disruptions in their education,” Chua said. “Some families simply don’t have a choice because they need to go to work.” According to the survey, 75% of parents supported daily temperature checks and testing of kids if one tested positive for COVID-19. Over 60% supported limiting the number of kids on buses,
alternating between in-person and virtual classes, staggering arrival and pick-up times, and random weekly COVID-19 testing for staff. Half supported random weekly COVID-19 testing of kids and having children eat meals in classrooms, not in cafeterias. Most parents supported face masks for staff and middle and high school students, but not for younger children, especially kindergarten through second grade. There wasn’t much support for closing playgrounds and halting all extracurricular activities. “Preferences for the number and types of measures vary among parents,” Chua said in a university news release. “But they broadly agree with the notion that schools should take steps to keep children as safe as possible.”

Schools take different routes to opening By Yuxuan Xie Ed Source Each morning before Chengbao Shang leaves for school in Guangzhou, China, his parents take the 7-year-old’s temperature and send the results to his teacher using a program on WeChat, the popular Chinese social media platform. It’s the same for every student in this city of more than 15 million. Chengbao’s father then drives him to school and drops him off 20 yards away from the campus. Chengbao, a firstgrade student, gets his temperature taken again when he approaches the front gate of the school, this time by security guards. He and his classmates enter one-by-one, walking about three feet apart. He then goes to his classroom, where 51 students sit at their own desks, also three feet from their closest classmates. “I really enjoy the classes and I can play with my classmates and friends. I can hear stories from my teachers,” he said during a conversation over WeChat. “And I feel safer and safer slowly.” In California, it remains unclear how students will ultimately return to the classroom amid the Coronavirus pandemic. However, schools that have opened in China, Belgium and the Netherlands — as well as in remote areas of America — provide insights into what may lie ahead. EdSource conducted interviews by phone and email
with students, parents and administrators in a sampling of overseas and rural American schools to learn how they are reopening in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic. In many cases, the precautions taken overseas mirror what education officials in California have said to expect next year: regular temperature checks, physical distancing, hybrid schedules and even new restrictions on eating lunch. But no matter how careful the plans, schools may have to close again, as happened in Beijing this month following a new outbreak of the Coronavirus. Schools in China’s capital were abruptly closed earlier this month. An elementary school student in Beijing’s Xicheng district was among those who tested positive for Covid-19.

Chengbao’s school reopened in April for older students, but he and other students in his grade didn’t return until May 25. To minimize the risk of the
virus, the school has hired more doctors and other health staff and required all teachers and other staff to be tested for the virus before schools reopened.

Trump, DeVos push for schools to reopen By Alex Leary The Wall Street Journal WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump pressured states to reopen schools this fall, emphasizing the benefits of in-person instruction for children and the relief for parents marshaled into home learning, while school officials say more federal funding is needed from Congress to safely operate. President Trump’s demands insert the White House firmly into a national discussion over restarting traditional classes for children. Classroom instruction is seen as one of the most fundamental institutions of pre-Coronavirus life, but many districts say they plan to also offer alternatives to full-time in-person learning for parents concerned about their children returning to school. “We’re very much going to put pressure on governors and everybody else to open the schools— get them open,” Mr. Trump said during a Tuesday event with a supportive audience, labeling political any opposition to such a move. “It’s very important for our country. It’s very important for the well-being of the student and the parents.” Critics say the administration is rushing to reopen schools despite signs that the pandemic is worsening. In many states, the number of cases is now much higher than it was last school year when children were sent home. “Educators want nothing
more than to be back in classrooms and on college campuses with our students, but we must do it in a way that keeps students, educators and communities safe,” said Lily Eskelsen Garcia, president of the National Education Association. “Trump has proven to be incapable of grasping that people are dying,” she said, calling his push to fully reopen schools a re-election ploy. Decisions about how and whether to reopen schools are largely up to state and local governments. Many districts plan to offer in-person and remote learning, or a blend of both, and are also formulating plans on steps to take if students or staff become ill. Vice President Mike Pence, who heads the White House Coronavirus task force, said additional federal guidance on safety would come next week, though he said it wasn’t meant to replace local decisions. The effort echoes a similar push by the administration in April, when
the president said he would force states to reopen businesses before backing off that effort. Schools across the country closed this past spring, shifting instruction online and upending extracurricular activities and graduations, likely leading to learning loss for many children and placing burdens on parents who have been forced to work from home. The virus has killed more than 130,000 Americans and has continued to spread, causing some states and cities to reverse steps to ease lockdowns. But administration officials said sending children back to school this fall is critical, despite a sharp rise in Coronavirus cases in Southern and Western states. “With everything in life, there is some level of risk,” said Education Secretary Betsy DeVos. “And it’s a matter of assessing those risks and taking all the different factors into account, so not only physical health and safety but also social, emotional health and mental health. And also the
opportunity that a school environment provides.” In-person learning “should be absolutely the goal,” she said. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said desks can be set up for distancing, teachers can be rotated and meals brought into classrooms to avoid larger gatherings. School advocates and outside groups estimate that public schools will need billions of dollars in federal aid to cover the heightened costs of operating during a pandemic, which include purchasing new technology for remote learning, expanding testing, providing personal protective equipment and cleaning school facilities. The American Academy of Pediatrics has urged policy makers to prioritize reopening schools, citing the developmental and health benefits to children of attending class in-person and receiving regular school meals. Preliminary research suggests that low-income and minority children with less access to technology will have greater learning loss than other children under remote learning. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) has said that bringing children back to school is a priority for the party in the next Coronavirus relief bill, though he hasn’t yet laid out any specific measures for accomplishing that goal. The Senate will return from a recess on July 20, when lawmakers will rush TRUMP|Continued to page 16

States move toward waiving standardized tests By Naaz Modan Education Dive As schools plan for the fall, state education departments and lawmakers are gearing up to suspend another round of federal and state standardized tests, saying instruction should take priority for the 202021 school year. On June 18, Georgia became one of the first states to seek an assessment waiver. Gov. Brian P. Kemp and State School Superintendent Richard Woods jointly announced their decision to apply for suspension of standardized testing to the U.S. Department of Education. Continuing with high-stakes testing for the next school year, they said in a joint press release, would be “counterproductive.” “In anticipation of a return to in-person instruction this fall, we believe schools’ focus should be on remediation, growth, and
the safety of students,” the statement said. “Every dollar spent on high-stakes testing would be a dollar taken away from the classroom.” In South Carolina, the state Senate approved a bill that would seek a waiver from all federal accountability reporting, as well as test suspension, “to help recoup extensive instruction time lost when our public
schools closed” in spring. Texas also moved in a similar direction earlier this month, when state Rep. Dan Flynn announced a resolution seeking a waiver from Gov. Greg Abbott for state accountability ratings, adding that extended closures have historically negatively impacted students’ math and reading achievement. Similar efforts are making their way to top state officials in Michigan and Oklahoma after local superintendents and legislators expressed the need to waive testing and accountability for the next academic year. In Oklahoma, Democratic state lawmakers sent a letter to the state’s superintendent shortly after Georgia’s decision was announced, hoping to follow in its footsteps. Rep. John Waldron, one of the representatives who sent the letter, said in a press release the next year should “focus on the culture of our schools, not testing outcomes.”

Add me to the angry list. ENOUGH!” Another, state Rep. Briscoe Cain, R-Deer Park, tweeted his sentiments just after noon Sunday: “If I owned a bar, I would open it.” Cain was one of the lawyers who represented Shelley Luther, the Dallas hairstylist who defied the governor’s business-closing orders in April and briefly went to jail for it. That stunt prompted Abbott to tell local officials they couldn’t jail or fine anyone for defying the governor’s own orders. Luther has been among the outspoken protesters on social media in recent days, saying the governor shouldn’t be closing bars and other businesses like this. The clamor isn’t limited to drinking. That’s just the latest flash point. Local officials in hot spots around Texas — big places like Houston and Dallas and smaller ones like Laredo, where there’s a new curfew in place — are straining against the governor’s proclamation that his orders prevent them from imposing stricter measures than the state has in place.

list of health guidelines that will require districts to collectively spend close to $25 billion on PPE and cleaning supplies, according to a study by AASA, the School Superintendents Association. School administrators—new to the medical supply marketplace—are now asking: Which vendor has the sturdiest and most child-friendly masks? What sizes should they be? Who has the cheapest prices? How much should I buy? And complicating it all is the very real prospect that schools may have to shut down again as COVID-19 continues to spread and new outbreaks hit. That could mean spending money on gear that doesn’t get used. “It’s hard to know what next month will bring, let alone six months from now,” Pollio said. “I don’t want to end the year with 8 million masks sitting in storage.” To operate any form of in-person instruction, administrators must reduce class sizes, expand online learning, and quadruple bus routes in order to maintain social distancing. All of this will come at a price that many high-poverty districts can ill afford. U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said in a recent appearance on CNBC that he will encourage the federal government to help cover some of those PPE costs for schools. And it’s possible that in the future, because the pandemic was declared a national emergency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, will reimburse districts for PPE equipment and cleaning costs. But in the meantime, states and districts are on their own. As the virus raged through the spring, the PPE market was plagued with fraud and price-gouging. While it’s calmed down in more recent months as supplies have become more widely available, some states have stepped in to assist districts, providing sample shopping lists and contact information for pre-approved vendors. In California, the state’s health department has set aside for schools 47,000 no-touch thermometers, 14 million cloth face coverings for each of its students, and more than 143,000 bottles of hand sanitizer. “Because of the scarcity of supplies, the state has stepped in to keep people safe,” said Brian Ferguson, a spokesman for the governor’s Office of Emergency Services.
The state education agency says face masks will be required in school buildings, with the exceptions listed in Gov. Greg Abbott’s executive order, as long as the order remains in place. Districts can also add their own face mask ABBOTT requirement “for adults or students for whom it is developmentally appropriate,” the TEA said. “This pandemic has gotten much worse lately, so I think they’re starting to recognize that,” Michael Hinojosa, Dallas ISD’s superintendent said. The TEA says temporary closures are almost certain to
Page 19
happen. Hinojosa says they’re prepared. “We’ll clean, we’ll test, we’ll trace and get ready to go back in and that’s why we need to have at-home learning available,” Hinojosa said. The planning guidance also addresses on-campus and virtual instruction, practices to prevent the virus from entering the school and mitigating the speed inside the school. Fort Worth ISD says 42 percent of families have picked online learning. Hinojosa says Dallas ISD is at 50 percent and growing. “You can’t legislate them and will them to be in the school building if they’re not going to be there. That’s why we need options in place,” he said. “If they allow us to open school virtually 100 percent, we could
start school on time, then we’ll phase it in, but we don’t have the authority to do that at this time.” One week before on-campus activities and instruction, schools must provide a plan summary to parents and the public. The report suggests schools have hand washing or hand sanitizing stations at entrances to the buildings, and it recommends setting aside time for students and teachers to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds. Steven Poole leads the United Educators Association representing 44 districts including Fort Worth and said teachers still haven’t begun training for online learning in most districts. “Finally, the state stepped up to the plate and issued some
