Goose Creed CISD Peaceful Protest Against Mask Mandates

On August 17, 2021, GCCISD held a special board meeting and decided to add to the agenda, the discussion of possibly bringing back the mask mandate to the students like in 2020. After a whole lot of parent and community pushback by emails and phone calls, the district sent out messages that they will be abiding by Governor Abbott's ban on mask mandates but shortly before this message was sent, they explained they are watching the legal battle between Judge Hidalgo and Gov. Abbott closely.
Parents, grandparents and friends of the district did not hesitate to attend the special board meeting with signs and flags to proudly and sternly voice that we intend for the school district to keep face coverings optional.
