As many school districts around North Texas break records for COVID-19 case count numbers, so do the numbers of parents looking for alternative school options.

“Last year, we were virtual the first half of the year because I thought that was safest and when I look back at how much safer it was then…I think ‘this is a horrible mistake!’” said Marti Shavor, a Keller ISD parent.

Keller ISD’s COVID-19 dashboard on Wednesday, Sept. 8, showed nearly 1,000 active cases.
