About 70 people attended the public hearing held last Thursday evening to review and comment on Canadian ISD’s Safe Return to School plan. Superintendent Lynn Pulliam and the board of trustees fielded a range of questions and comments from the community on the guidelines developed to facilitate the start of school this month, even as the COVID-19 case count continues to rise in Hemphill County.

Parents, grandparents and community members got a small taste of what school will look like when it finally resumes this month. Most wore masks, as requested, and the Canadian Elementary School Cafetorium was the perfect venue for social distancing. About 70 attended in person, and another 30 or so viewed the meeting and commented on the protocols via Zoom.
