Peaster Independent School District after Governor Abbott announced the end to state mask orders last week.
Abbott announced the end to state mask orders last week.
The rural school district in Parker County, northwest of Weatherford, never made masks an issue for students or staff this school year. Wear one, or don’t.
It has not distanced students inside classroom.
No one has been placed into a mandatory quarantine.
Homecoming happened on schedule.
The pancake dinner, fall festival, sports and concerts all took place as planned.
The result, according to Superintendent Lance Johnson, has been a higher enrollment and average daily attendance numbers ahead of last year.
Johnson also said district data shows most students are on track to finish the school year on grade level, closing the learning gap that occurred when schools shut down last spring.
“Our kids have thrived and our teachers have thrived,” he said. “And it’s just been real eye opening to see how we’ve done things different than other schools.”

Johnson has frequently found himself on the phone, or in meetings with other school district leaders or legislative staff members, interested in how the district of about 1,400 students has managed an approach opposite to conventional school health policies.
He tells them there’s no magic to it.
“It’s real simple. We’ve just done it,” he said. “It’s not that difficult if you really put the needs of kids first.”

It was all a hoax?
Well I’ll be damned. Really? Ya think?
Weatherford is just 20 minutes from where I am sitting here in Fort Worth, most folks west of here don’t think much of how outsiders think they should act.
Reading the title I thought, “To counter the academic lack in other students I bet they will offer a “Pandemic Credit” so that students won’t feel so bad that they were not up to speed on their book learning.”
“ It was all a hoax?
Well I’ll be damned. Really? Ya think?”
It was not a hoax, it was created to eliminate the orange man, who was bad
Simply watch how the Amish live life.In one instance, a man stated Covid swept through the communities and that’s that like FLU SEASON. Another was the Hasidic community as the “herd” immunity as they shun the asinine vaccination cult.
One major liberal magazine compared two small towns in West Texas on the New Mexico border with a small town in New Mexico.
The New Mexico kids’ suicide rate was several times higher. The West Texas schools didn’t shut down, just contact tracing and some quarantining. After a couple of cases, there weren’t any more. Kids were in classrooms. Sports were played. Academically, they’re on track. It is enough of a difference that New Mexico parents were sending kids to live on the Texas side to go to school.
West Texas being invaded from the South and the West :)
