Board Approves Submitting Waiver for Missed Day

Los Fresnos CISD Board of Trustees approved submitting an application for a waiver for a missed school day at its regular meeting Monday.
Superintendent Gonzalo Salazar explained the decision to call off classes on August 25 because of the threat of Hurricane Harvey.
“When Harvey turned into a hurricane we decided – for the safety of students and staff and everyone involved – to go and call school (off) that day,” Salazar said. “Because the Governor made a disaster declaration that included Cameron County, we qualified for this waiver and we will not have to make up the school day.”
The waiver will be submitted to the Texas Education Agency, which had announced it would accept waiver requests from school districts in counties that declared disaster areas.
Trustes also approved three new staff members:
- Maria Alondra Del Angel Delgado, teacher, Villareal Elementary
- Marcelo Garza, programmer/analyst, PEIMS/MIS Office
