The Stafford Municipal School District Board of Trustees made pivotal decisions this week that underline the importance of health and safety for all students and employees relating to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in a time where federal, state, and local governance is largely in disarray and frequently changing.

Stafford MSD is in the process of finalizing our plan and criteria for Remote Conferencing based on guidance from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for the 2021-2022 school year. Remote conferencing is remote instruction in which eligible students at an off-campus location may virtually participate in classes provided by a teacher for up to 20 days.

As Stafford MSD continues to navigate the evolving pandemic, and its challenges, we remain committed to making decisions that put safety and education first, while also following guidance from Texas Education Agency (TEA), local and state officials, and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).  Our team at SMSD is actively working to support you and your students during this time, and we look forward to facing this challenge together for our Spartans.

As a parent/guardian, you have the right to request that the school retain your child at the previous grade level for the 2021-2022 school year. In order to do this, you must submit a formal request to your child’s school either in person or via email. 

As the only municipal school district in the state of Texas, the Board of Trustees understand the value of hiring and retaining top talent in education. After a year of COVID-19, the district remains committed to providing excellence in education for our students, team, and community. Last night the Board of Trustees at Stafford MSD voted to approve several pay increases for the 2021-2022 school year for both current employees and new hires.
