Statement of the Frankfort Independent Schools Board of Education
July 7, 2020
As the governing body of a public school district supported by taxpayers and entrusted with the
health and safety of children, families and staff, our board is keenly aware of the challenge we
face as we prepare to reopen schools next month under unprecedented circumstances. At the
forefront of our minds is the reality that we are balancing dual risks:
1. The risk of exposing students, staff, families and our community to a serious and highly
contagious disease; and
2. The risk that extended school closures present to students’ developmental, social,
emotional and physical well-being.
