Goose Creek CISD is not the only district offering some online instruction as a choice for parents.
Fort Bend ISD said it will start the 2020-2021 academic year online. The district said the move to distance learning will "give students, parents and staff an opportunity to adjust to online learning and safety procedures." No in-person extracurricular activities, including athletics and fine arts, will occur during the period of virtual learning.
