Houston ISD started its new school year with a mask mandate. That decision was in defiance of a state order STILL being hashed out in court as of this posting. HISD is the largest district in Texas. Its new superintendent toured multiple campuses as students and staff got back to business in what will be another challenging year. We caught up with the superintendent and others at an elementary school. I also touched on the first day in the state's third largest district, Cy-Fair ISD, located in suburban Houston. CFISD decided to keep masks optional yet strongly encouraged.

I've been doing LOTS of back-to-school stories as we get closer to what will likely be another interesting year thanks to COVID.

But private schools are able to do whatever they feel is best. This story explores that after The Village School in Houston decided to follow CDC guidance.
