Effective May 12, Austin ISD is changing its COVID-19 policies, including easing mask requirements for outdoor activities that incorporate social distancing, allowing outdoor ceremonies and other activities for education purposes, and shortening the quarantine period.
The update follows months of decreasing COVID-19 infection rates resulting from rising vaccination rates and precautions such as masking and social distancing. Changes to the COVID-19 policies include:
Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for mourning the U.S. military personnel who have died while serving in the United States armed forces. It is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formerly observed on May 30 from 1868 to 1970.
The district will be closed for Spring Break.
