Hybrid Model Status: We are back!
This tool will indicate when the current learning model might need
to change. Green indicates no change; yellow indicates a change
might be needed; red indicates a change will be made. The lights will
remain red as long as we are in Distance Learning.

Following the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) guidance, Houston Public Schools
will take into account not only the county-level case data when determining learning
models, but also the number of confirmed cases, quarantines, and close contacts in
our school community, each school building within our district, and other data such
as individuals with influenza-like illness. This is what MDE is calling the “scalpel approach.”
This approach allows school districts and charter schools within the same county to have
different learning models. This scalpel approach is why some school districts that have
high county-level case data are still operating in an in-person or hybrid learning model.
Houston Public Schools will make decisions on the learning model based on all these
data points, keeping the education and safety of our students at the forefront of all
decisions.
Important Announcement Regarding FREE Meals
Due to a waiver extension by the USDA, Houston Public Schools finally
received notification that we are able to offer meals (breakfast and lunch)
FREE of charge to ALL our students, whether or not they qualify for free-
or reduced-priced meals. This waiver only goes through June 30,2021,
but is retroactive to the first day of school. The waiver does not apply to the
snack milk program at Houston Elementary and Preschools. It is still extremely important that families complete the Application for
Educational Benefits now or before the December 15, 2020 deadline. Our
school and students benefit from the funding we receive.
