San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District has proposed a plan to help mitigate rising COVID-Cases in the district after the holidays.
During the Board of Trustees Meeting last week, district staff proposed asking parents for a favor.
As of Dec. 7, SMCISD’s Confirmed Case count had reached 86 after steadily rising since early September.
SMCISD Superintendent Michael Cardona said the district staff will return to Campuses on Jan. 4 but will request families who are able to have their children in remote learning from Jan. 5 thru Jan. 11.
The district will be available to welcome back students who are struggling to reach academic success through remote learning or whose parents work and need them to attend school.
“We figure Jan. 1 and Jan. 2 are when families are going to get together during New Year’s Eve,” Cardona said. “Our schools are going to be open, but we are asking for a favor.”
Cardona noted that students who need to be in school on Jan. 5 should be.
The district is continuing to practice the protocols and safety measures implemented in August to contend with the pandemic.
Andrew Fernandez, SMCISD Communications Director, started reaching out to parents regarding the district’s post-holiday plans Dec. 14.

"86 after steadily rising since early September."
Steadily rising = NOT Spiking. We WANT a steady rise in cases. Those 86 cases were split evenly between students & teachers. Considering it is only a bit over 1 case per day, it is reasonable to believe this is confirmation that schools ARE NOT a viable transmission pathway. Its more likely these cases were either community-wide or familial spread.
