Lubbock ISD Superintendent Kathy Rollo said that despite Texas Governor Greg Abbott lifting the statewide mask mandate, district students and staff will still be required to wear them.
Lubbock ISD informed the public on Monday, Nov. 9 that former coach and educator Matt Embry had passed away after recently being diagnosed with COVID-19.
Masks will be required for kids in 4th grade and above, and all adults will be required to wear masks. Face shields will not be required, but will be provided for teachers who might be teaching higher risk kids. P.E. classes will still take place, and Lubbock ISD schools have bought sanitizing materials in preparation. Only 1 kid will be allowed to use a piece of equipment at a time, and the equipment will be sanitized afterwards.
