91͵ is closely monitoring COVID-19 data and trends in our community. The district receives ongoing updates and guidance from Collin County Health Care Services and the Texas Education Agency. Consistent with area and statewide trends, 91͵ continues to experience an increase in COVID-19 cases following the winter break. While this has certainly created some challenges, teachers and staff are doing an amazing job answering the call and providing in-person learning for all students.
The district is encouraged by the fact that local health officials have indicated that we are at or near the peak of the latest COVID variant, and we expect to see a significant decline in positive cases in the coming days. 91͵ continues to take proactive steps to mitigate the spread of the virus. Regardless of the proactive approach area school districts are taking, COVID rates have remained consistent from district to district throughout the area. We appreciate your partnership as we all work together to keep our schools open, while at the same time all do our part to prevent the spread of the virus. Here are a few ways that we can all help in this effort.

If you are interested in driving a bus please visit our bus transportation page /transportation/bus-drivers/.
