BELLAIRE, Texas – If a coronavirus outbreak shuts down Episcopal High School in Bellaire, administrators and teachers say they have a plan in place to continue educating students from their homes. The school has been training staff on new computer programs, like Microsoft Teams. When the head of school Ned Smith first announced the virtual class contingency plan, students admit, they weren’t excited about the idea. Jay Berckley, dean of arts and innovation at Episcopal, said the coronavirus crisis forced quick action“This wasn’t something that any of us were thinking about three months ago,” Berckley said. He said he has been in contact with other independent schools and city and county school districts working together on best practices.
