Based on school and community data, Russellville Independent Schools will continue to require masks in all our indoor buildings, facilities, and buses until further notice. 

Our district leaders are currently in communication with local and state health officials, as well as our Board of Education members, to create a revised COVID Operational Plan based on the new requirements identified in the recent passing of Senate Bill 1. 

Together, we are seeking to implement a Test to Stay program as well as changing quarantine guidelines. These efforts will keep the health and safety of our students and staff our top priority while also decreasing the number of students missing classes due to exposures and quarantines. 

A detailed COVID Operational Plan will be made available on our district website as soon as it is finalized. We appreciate the continued community support and dedication to our plans so that we may continue to provide the in-person learning experience our students need and deserve!
