Release: IMMEDIATE

Statement by Fort Worth ISD Superintendent
Commissioner [Mike] Morath today acknowledged we are dealing with a
rapidly changing public health situation. However, as the Commissioner
said, a public health crisis cannot become a public education crisis – and
we could not agree more.
Many parents are concerned about what lies ahead this fall and,
accordingly, what was shared today will allow districts to deliver remote
instruction in a couple of different ways in the 2020-2021 school year.
These options will empower our Fort Worth ISD educators to teach with
both rigor and maintain the highest standards of excellence.
We still don’t have all the details and look forward to more information that
will be shared next week on July 2. We do know that we will, in the
Commissioner’s words, be able to move forward with ‘grace and flexibility’
for both our students and our teachers.
