In a 4-3 vote, the district’s board decided to continue to follow the face-covering guidelines set by the Texas Education Agency with some exceptions. Starting Monday, students in pre-K through fifth grade will not be required to wear masks and the district’s superintendent, Doug Loomis, will have the power to implement further mask breaks including during class transitions, recess and outdoor activities.
After presenting the idea to the Amarillo City Council earlier in February, officials with the city of Amarillo visited Monday evening’s regular meeting of the Amarillo Independent School District Board of Trustees to speak on the possibility of a municipally-owned broadband internet network.

Other services, including watching movies or television on streaming platforms as well as gaming, would require a subscription, which officials hope would pay for those community members using the network solely for those essential services.
