Due to privacy requirements, we will not be releasing the name of the individual or details that may identify him or her. The District is working with local health officials and we have begun a case investigation. Campus administrators have contacted any individuals determined to be in close contact with the infected individual. We will keep you apprised of further updates that may be necessary. While we do not have reason to believe that those who were not in close contact with the infected individual have reason to be concerned, we ask that you, as always, to watch for symptoms of COVID-19. Any of the following symptoms indicate a possible COVID-19 infection: • Feeling feverish or a measured temperature greater than or equal to 100.0 degrees Fahrenheit • Loss of taste or smell • Cough • Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath • Fatigue • Headache • Chills • Sore throat • Congestion or runny nose • Shaking or exaggerated shivering • Significant muscle pain or ache • Diarrhea, nausea or vomiting If you or any member of the EISD community does begin experiencing any of these symptoms in a way that is not typical, we encourage you to contact your physician. We encourage anyone in the EISD community who is lab-confirmed to have COVID-19 to please notify our school by contacting the campus administrator. Dr. Jason Cochran - Superintendent Eastland ISD

EISD Teachers and Staff: The past 9 months have been the most challenging some of us have faced in our lifetime. As this pandemic inches its way into each oncoming months, its effect has varied from person to person. However, a universal and vast concern has always been our school systems and the students they serve. We proudly watched you teach from home last year and then open our schools safely and effectively in August and we know this has not been an easy task. As a staff, you have risen to the challenge proving you will do whatever it takes to provide the safest and best education possible for OUR kids. The EISD school board recognizes that you have put in countless hours and your own resources so that school can feel as “normal” as possible. It is not only our honor, but also a privilege to give you a well-deserved gesture of a COVID Relief Stipend. On your November paycheck, teachers will receive a $1,000 stipend and support staff will get a $250 stipend. Thank you for all you have done and will do in the future! We are not sure what the future has in store, but we do know that the students in the Eastland Independent School District will have the best learning opportunities possible because of you. Our kids are blessed by your service. It’s A Great Day To Be A Maverick!

Pre-Game Activities: No fans will be allowed on the field before the game without permission from EISD Administration. Post-Game Activities: No fans will be allowed on the field.
