Here's how local schools are handling President Obama's September 8th address to school children.

All students in Madisonville and Calvert will have an opportunity to watch the Obama address live. MCISD Superintendent Keith Smith said he doesn't expect the speech to last very long, or interrupt the district's original plans for the day. Calvert Superintendent K.L. Graholski said Calvert is planning on incorporating the speech as part of the day's classroom activities. Both districts will provide an alternative place for children whose parents don't want them to view the speech.

Normangee Superintendent Jerry Burger said the speech will air during the district's lunch time, and the library will be open for those who want to watch the speech during lunch. The district will also make hard copies available to staff and students.

Brazos Christian won't show the speech in class, but Headmaster Robert Armstrong said students may go home to watch it with parents' permission.

The speech will be shown at government teachers' discretion, at Allen Academy.

Hearne, Franklin, Huntsville, Caldwell and Brenham schools will record the speech and make hard copies available later.

Kids in College Station schools will watch the speech live if they are in a social studies class at the time. The same goes for middle and high schoolers in Bryan. Parents in both districts may choose to have their children not watch the speech.

Navasota ISD will show the address during social studies classes the day of the speech, and replay it in social studies classes who missed it, the following day. The district will not be following lesson plans distributed by the U.S. Department of Education or engage students in political discussions before or after the address.

KBTX will also provide a link to the president's speech on kbtx.com.
