Greetings, Falcons!
Texas Governor Abbott has lifted the mask mandate in Texas and increased capacity of all businesses and facilities in the state to 100 percent, effective today. Please note, however, that businesses, schools, and other organizations may still require masks. “If businesses want to limit capacity or implement additional safety protocols, they have the right to do so,” noted Governor Greg Abbott at a Tuesday press conference.
Royal ISD will continue to require that masks be worn at all times by students and employees, will continue to follow social distancing guidelines, and will continue to adhere to the Start Strong, Stay Strong plan. Click here to read more.
As stated by Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo, "As a reminder to our fellow Texans, private businesses enjoy property rights and may require folks to wear a mask. Please respect their property rights. If you decline to wear a mask and are asked to leave and refuse, you may be committing the offense of criminal trespass."
This executive order rescinds most of the Governor's earlier executive orders related to COVID-19. Click here to read more.
