Lubbock ISD keeping mask mandate in place By Melanie Camacho | March 11, 2021 at 11:04 PM CST - Updated March 11 at 11:11 PM
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - The LISD School Board has chosen to continue with their mask mandate for now, although some board members propose revisiting the issue a couple weeks after Spring Break.
The district looks to the Texas Education Agency for guidance, and recently, the TEA said school boards have the ability to change the mask policy through formal action.
On Thursday, Superintendent, Dr. Kathy Rollo, said she recommended keeping the mask policy for now. Lubbock Public Health Director Katherine Wells supported the decision, saying she is also in favor of masks.
