Cameron County, Texas this week withdrew its orders keeping a Christian school closed to in-person instruction, a decision that comes roughly two weeks after the county backed off from enforcing similar orders against another Christian institution.

The county in late August elected not to enforce its "emergency health control order" against Laguna Madre Christian Academy, allowing the school to bring students back to campus at the start of the academic year. Laguna Madre had argued that its internal health and safety measures to counteract possible COVID-19 spread were sufficient to justify a resumption of face-to-face instruction.

At that time, the county was still enforcing its health directive against Calvary Christian School, though county officials said they were considering allowing that school to reopen as well.
