BOSSIER CITY, La. - Zayden Taylor a straight-A student at Parkway High School in Bossier City is also a linebacker on the junior varsity football team.
The 15-year-old sophomore, like thousands of students across the ArkLaTex, followed through with the football season during the coronavirus pandemic. Zayden is the healthiest kid I know. He did not have any health conditions, said his mother, Army Staff Sgt. Taricka Taylor, who is an active duty recruiter, was contacted in November by Bossier Parish Schools. I got a call from the school saying he had been exposed, Taricka Taylor said.

SHREVEPORT, La. The KTBS Mega Watch 3 team is keeping an eye on the forecast for early next week, but they re not alone. Hundreds of schools across the Ark-La-Tex are doing the same. But some of the virtual learning methods developed during the pandemic have lead them to announce their plans for Monday as early as Friday. I think that this is the end of snow days as we know them, said Dr. Sara Ebarb, superintendent for Sabine Parish Schools. As one of the first districts to make the call, Dr. Ebarb says it s primarily based on safety concerns. Our buses leave early [in the morning,] said Dr. Ebarb. By six o clock, it s too late to call off school if it s really bad.
