We're going to do our best to help meet these kids' educational needs while they're here in Texas. We want them to feel like they're a part of the Lufkin Panther family. |
We're going to try to help these kids have as normal a school setting as possible, |
We're not expecting all of them to stay forever, but whether they're here two days, two months or longer, we'll do our best to make them feel welcome. |
We've been in contact with the commissioner of education and at this point in time, she has given us permission to waive all days that we missed because of our current circumstance. What we anticipated would happen in Houston instead has happened in Lufkin, Texas, so at this point, we're not required to use our weather days. We still have cold weather coming and we might have to use those at that point in time. |
