    Superintendent's Letter Regarding Updated Safety Protocol

    ​​​​​​​Dear Lackland ISD Parents/Guardians:

    Beginning Thursday, March 3, 2022, the wearing of masks on school property will be optional for students, staff, and visitors. This change is in line with the JBSA Commander’s recent guidance. We will continue to observe other safety precautions that we currently have in place to include encouraging both students and staff to wash their hands frequently and having hand sanitizer available at the entrances of all buildings and in each classroom and office.

    Lackland ISD will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and make changes based on local, state, and federal guidance.

    We strongly encourage parents to monitor the health of their children. Please do not send your child(ren) to school if they are sick. If you have questions or comments regarding this guidance, please contact your campus principal.

    Respectfully,

    Dr. Burnie L. Roper
    Superintendent
