Keller will provide school supplies across the district amid COVID-19 pandemic
The Keller Independent School District announced on Wednesday that it will help students with school supplies for the upcoming school year as families continue to be impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Supplies will be provided for all KISD students from pre-K through 8th grade. Some additional grades could be included, but each school will determine that on a case-by-case basis.
“We recognize that many members of our community are struggling financially as a result of this pandemic,” said KISD superintendent Dr. Rick Westfall. “As the needs were presented we saw it as an opportunity to help take care of our families.”
The cost of the supplies will come from the some of the district’s spring and year-end expenditures that weren’t utilized during the COVID-19 closures.
KISD also said this will help families who may be at a higher health risk stay home rather than in crowded school supply shopping aisles. “As our families prepare for the reopening of schools this fall, we wanted to take the burden of back-to-school crowds and the expense of students’ school supplies off their plates,” said KISD chief of schools Cecil McDaniel. “It is great to be able to give the resources given to us back to the community. I am so proud to be part of the Keller ISD community.”
