January 17, 2022 Re: Update Eastland ISD will resume classes as scheduled Tuesday, January 18, 2022. I want to apologize for any inconvenience being off today might have caused anyone. We do not take it lightly when considering closing campuses for any period of time. EISD’s passion and commitment is the safety and well being of our students. We do anticipate that we will still have several staff members out tomorrow. However, the campus administration has worked to develop plans to cover classes accordingly. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding, we look forward to seeing the kids tomorrow. As always, “It’s a GREAT day to be a Maverick!” Dr. Cochran

January 16, 2022 Re: School Closure January 17,2022 Eastland ISD will be closed Monday January 17, 2022 due to a high number of illnesses among staff, their families, and students. As well as being notified of a high number of students who are home sick, we began to evaluate the number of staff either testing positive for COVID 19, exposed, or sick with other flu like illnesses, the number not able to come to work exceeds our substitute pool and hinders ability to effectively have school. EISD will use tomorrow, as an administrative team, to develop and plan for the most appropriate in person instruction as we progress through this spike over the next couple days. The main driving factor behind the decision to close tomorrow is the number of personnel that will be out. Extracurricular activities will remain as scheduled as long as healthy staff and participants are available. If it is determined that we are still in the same situation for Tuesday we will notify parents as soon as possible. However, it is our intention to resume classes on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.
