Our Tyler ISD administration leadership team has been reviewing Learn@Home student academic performance, attendance data, and speaking with campus principals and teachers. Discussions revealed the concept of remote/online instruction has not been successful for the majority of our Learn@Home students and the added burden of a full-scale dual instructional system on our teachers is unsustainable. About 60% of our remote learners are failing one or more classes. Bottom-line: the Tyler community is challenged with a developing educational, social-emotional, nutritional, and economic crisis. It is time for all Tyler ISD students to come back for in-person, on-campus instruction.
We are moving in a direction that we feel is best for all Tyler ISD students and staff. Effective immediately, Tyler ISD requests all students return to school as soon as possible, or at the latest by Monday, November 2, 2020, which is the start of the 3rd grading period. This grace period has been established to allow parents of students affected by this decision time to evaluate educational options and determine what is best for their student.
