MISD

When I heard that MISD was the first to get back to school this year I was truly scratching my head? Why? Why are they going back literally the 2nd day of August? I don't live in Midland, so I asked someone more familiar with the situation to explain and now I get it. Midland ISD has implemented what they call 'intersessions' this calendar school year.

Just when we thought we might be in the clear with COVID and were beginning to get comfortable not wearing masks in public, apparently there is a new 'variant' we've all been hearing about. According to the Centers for Disease Control or CDC and new data, the Delta variant is a more contagious strain.

It may not be something that is known about in our city. When you think about homelessness, you may think it only applies to 'bigger cities,' but unfortunately it is a harsh reality that is here in the Permian Basin as well. According to Newswest 9, 'at this moment, MISD has 270 students enrolled that are identified as homeless and more than 350 who are inactive.'

When school starts back up again in the fall, many parents whose children have been wearing uniforms for school for quite some time now, may no longer have to. MISD made the announcement that for the 2021-2022 school year, they will be 'waiving the dress code for some schools in Midland.'
