AUSTIN, Texas — Despite concerns over the spread of coronavirus, school districts in Central Texas have not canceled classes, with the Texas Education Agency pointing out how doing so can be tough on economically disadvantaged students.
TEA Commissioner Mike Morath testified at the Texas House Committee on Public Health Tuesday, as state lawmakers were briefed on the current Coronavirus situation.
“There have been questions raised about students eligible for subsidized breakfast and lunch through school districts, about what happens if they’re not able to come to school,” Morath said.
