RISD continues to implement a variety of precautions and protocols in response to the pandemic to slow the spread of COVID-19. Although protocols are subject to change based on guidance from the state of Texas, public health authorities, or conditions in Dallas County, RISD is committed to providing a safe and healthy learning environment for all students.
- When COVID community levels are high, masks are strongly encouraged while indoors. Students and staff will be provided with a mask upon request. RISD has an ample supply of masks (surgical/N95/KN95) available for students and staff.
- An air purifier system is provided in every classroom.
- Increased ventilation and HVAC air filtering where possible in classrooms, indoor common areas, and student transportation.
- Campuses will be encouraged to utilize outdoor learning spaces for lunch and other learning experiences when CDC community level is high and it can be done safely.
- Students with symptoms or diagnosis of COVID-19 should not attend school.
- RISD monitors positive cases and total absences at each campus on an ongoing basis.
