HISD resumed face-to-face instruction for families who don’t opt out in October.
Houston students who are struggling in online classes may soon be required to return to in-person learning, according to a notice sent to principals this week.
In the Jan. 4 memo, administrators with the Houston Independent School District told principals that they can stop remote learning for students who’ve had three or more unexcused absences in a grading period or who have an average grade of 70 or below in their classes.
If campuses choose to require those students to return to face-to-face instruction, they have to give their families a two-week notice.
