Denton ISD’s new school year was pushed back two week to begin on Aug. 26 in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
It’s one of many North Texas school districts to change their start dates to give crews more time to get schools ready. Also, most schools are giving parents the option of having their children take part in virtual or in-person classrooms.
