Instead of No. 2 pencils, PPEs top back-to-school list

Back-to-school lists aren’t the same this year.

Gov. Greg Abbott talked last week about why the state is stockpiling personal protective equipment.

“As local school boards make determinations on how and when they choose to open schools, the state is working to help ensure that there will be a strong supply of PPE waiting for them to keep students, teachers and staff safe,” he said.
