Good Morning. Thank you, Pirate Nation, for your patience and flexibility throughout the on-going management of district operations during the COVID pandemic. While we will continue many of our mitigation practices (frequent cleaning of high use areas, use of our air purifier systems, and other critical prevention factors), the Chilton ISD Board of Trustees has elected to make masks optional moving forward. We will operate under the following plan: -Masks are optional when the active infection rate is below 4% of the district population. -Masks will once again be required if the active infection rate exceeds 4% of the district population. Thank you for your patience and flexibility throughout this process.

Bond Fact Friday: The CISD Board of Trustees called a series of community meetings where a Facility Committee toured Chilton ISD buildings and established a list of priorities. After reviewing the financial standing of the District, the impact of the incoming solar farm(s), campus classroom capacity, and potential project costs, the Committee settled on a recommendation to add classrooms to the elementary and secondary campuses and, as District taxable values allow, build a new multipurpose building to include a competition gymnasium and District cafeteria. The Committee's recommendation included the calling of a bond election for May 7th, 2022, and the Chilton ISD Board of Trustees unanimously accepted.
