Murray, Ky., July 09, 2020---- During the July regular board meeting of the Murray Independent School District, the Board of Education approved the 2020-2021 MISD Calendar. Students will begin the fall semester on Monday, August, 24, 2020, and families will have the choice for their children to return either for in person learning, or through virtual learning at home.
The number one priority of MISD is the health and safety of students, staff, and stakeholders. The school district will continue to follow COVID-19 guidance from the CDC, KY Department of Public Health, Office of the Governor, KY Department of Education and the Calloway County Health Department. MISD will provide parents and students a detailed plan of the two instructional options by the end of next week. After these details are provided, parents will have the opportunity to select in person or virtual learning for their children for the next school year. The district will utilize school messenger, social media, and phone calls to connect with families to inform them of the options and collect their choices for the upcoming school year.
Coy Samons, MISD superintendent, stated the Murray Independent School District will continue to provide a high quality education for students, no matter the circumstances. “During this national pandemic, we will make every effort to provide a valuable educational experience to MISD students and maintain our commitment to the tradition, pride, and academic excellence of Murray Independent Schools.
