GISD responds to video of students on campus

After a video showing Gonzales ISD students crowded in a hallway was shared online, the district has issued a statement saying the incident is being investigated.

“We became aware of the situation,” GISD Director of Public Relations Robin Trojack said. “It was reported to have taken place after students were transitioning from lunch. Administration was informed immediately, and the situation was investigated to ensure students wear masks as well as videos are not taken as that can result in a FERPA violation. Face-mask usage and physical distancing are encouraged at all times.”

The six-second video, which was shared on Facebook, is captioned “yea ion think we’ll get sick,” and shows many students shoulder-to-shoulder in a hallway. It was shared by a concerned parent, who said the video was taken at Gonzales High School.
