Overview

The Brownsville Independent School District is pleased to announce the start of the Acceleration Learning Academies beginning June 6, 2022 for elementary, middle, and high school summer sites. The district will continue to implement health and safety protocols in accordance with the latest Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines as the health and safety of all our students and staff is our number one priority.

This Re-entry Plan serves as a guide for the community, students, faculty, and staff to familiarize themselves with the summer and fall acceleration programs in order to close academic achievement gaps due to the COVID-19 slide that will continue through the 2022-2023 school year.
