Taylor School Corporation Re Entry Rationale

We are pleased at Taylor Community School Corporation to inform students, parents, staff, and community that our plan is to resume face-face instruction.  However, for any student with underlying health issues or, if a parent does not feel comfortable, they may do online instruction at home.  Please know the goal will be to have students work their way back to in person instruction.

Administrators and teachers have been working for weeks on a TCSC Re-entry plan due to Covid-19 pandemic.  It is the vision and mission of TCSC to provide a safe learning environment for students and staff.  Our district continues to work with the Howard County Health Department, school lawyer, property and casualty insurance company, and the Indiana Department of Education on TCSC Re-entry plan.Here are some of the re-entry policies that need to be followed:
