San Marcos Academy Academic Dean Bob Wiegand received a call in early April from his cousin who works for the Texas Department of Health and Human Services in Kerr County. She had heard “through the grapevine” about a school in Hays County that was among the first to roll out a distance learning plan after Spring Break. “I know how competitive you are,” she said. “I’ll bet it was your school that people have been talking about.”
Wiegand proudly confirmed her speculation. “You bet it was,” he responded.
San Marcos Academy began rolling out its distance learning strategy on March 23 thanks in large part to a group of 10 teachers who gave up much of their spring break to serve on a planning committee with Wiegand and Associate Academic Dean Steven McCray.
