Strengthening our schools, strengthening our community

Strengthening our schools, strengthening our community

While it still feels very much like summer, another school year is now underway with both uncertainty and opportunity. As San Marcos students enter their classrooms, we need to do everything reasonably possible to protect their health, while investing in their education and empowering them to grow as students and as individuals. My strongest commendation to the San Marcos CISD Board of Trustees for standing up for our students’ health through universal masking and rejecting Governor Abbott’s politically-motivated orders. 08/22/2021 05:00 AM
