Four Houston ISD campuses are cutting it close to being ready for the first day of school. The schools which are being rebuilt due to damage from Hurricane Harvey were forced to push back summer opening dates due to a three-month delay caused by the COVID-19, according to the Houston Independent School District. Kolter, Braeburn, Mitchell, and Scarborough elementary schools, now scheduled to open in August 2020, were originally scheduled to open in June. According to HISD Construction Services Officer Derrick Sanders, the new timeline is a result of worker shortages caused by mandated social distancing requirements amid the coronavirus pandemic. We know these four school communities are eager to move into their new schools, Sanders said.
