Despite changes and restrictions, Navasota ISD completed very positive first semester

January 25, 2021 by Willy1550

With all of the new normalcy and precautions, just how did Navasota ISD fare during the first semester of the 2020-2021 school year?

Superintendent Dr. Stu Musick, who spoke at the State of the City event recently, says the district never really saw an issue with COVID-19, outside of the week before Christmas.

“We were well below Grimes County averages, state averages, national averages, of percentage of cases per populations. Most schools folks were using that two or three percent mark. If you get to that two or three percent mark, as far as positive cases, you need to look at whether you need to close down a campus, grade level, or the district as a whole. All throughout that first semester, we stayed less than 0.5%, so less than a half of a percent,” said Musick.

He noted that, of course, their general success with combatting the spread of the virus has been due to everyone following the rules set in place.

And Musick also added that, while its been a huge adjustment for students, do not forget the faculty and staff.

“A lot of folks have had to transition, and they spend more of their time dealing with COVID related issues, contract tracing, and the investigation side…they spend more time doing that, than they are on the education side of their job. So, it has been a transition. But, our folks have done a fantastic job, and have made it work,” Musick said.

NISD resumed all in person instruction after the first nine week grading period, and has only lost one week of school, right before Christmas, due to a COVID outbreak among the staff.

For questions, or more information, contact the district at 936-825-4200.
