General Information
- TEA – Texas Home Learning Resources – this site was created by TEA in response to the decision to do distance learning for the remainder of the school year and possibly into the summer. It contains resources for parents, students, teachers, and districts so it may be very helpful to just add it at the top of the COVID response portion of our site for resources.
