                                                    Governor Abbot’s Executive Order No. GA-36

On May 18^th, Governor Gregg Abbott issued Executive Order No. GA-36 that prohibits government entities from mandating the wearing of face coverings starting June 5^th.

Carrizo Springs CISD along with all public school districts in the state of Texas will no longer mandate the wearing of masks for staff, students, parents and visitors starting Saturday, June 5, 2021 in order to comply with GA-36.

As COVID 19 cases continue to be reported within Dimmit County, CSCISD highly encourages students, staff, parents and visitors to wear masks while on school grounds.  

As the health and safety of our staff and students remains a top priority for Carrizo Springs CISD. 

The district will continue to implement the following procedures:

• Temperature checks upon arrival to the campuses and central office.
• Utilizing personal barriers for students
• Social distancing to the extent feasible
