Pac-12, which in the summer prudently chose to suspend their seasons but reversed course. Many college football stadiums allowed in thousands of spectators, who displayed varying adherence to mask protocols, though college basketball appears unlikely to allow fans into its arenas.

Yet college officials are now pressing ahead with the more intimate sport of basketball, ignoring the lessons of the abortive and misguided football season. College basketball is the first major indoor sport to attempt a season without the restrictive player bubbles successfully employed by professional basketball and hockey leagues. These so-called student-athletes are being treated like essential workers, but without the benefit of pay or the opportunity to share in the profits that line the pockets of administrators, coaches and television executives.

Already, roughly one in four

Division I men’s and women’s games has been canceled or postponed, N.C.A.A. data show. There is no reason college basketball cannot be delayed until conditions improve or the vaccine is deployed in larger numbers. It’s the right thing to do, particularly as college towns bear the brunt of Coronavirus transmission and deaths.

But college sports abound with hypocrisy. Fearing the pandemic’s toll, the Duke University women’s basketball team ended its season early last week, while the men continue to play, regularly, on national television. This despite the Duke men’s coach Mike Krzyzewski’s apparent discomfort playing through the pandemic: “I don’t think it feels right to anybody. I mean, everyone is concerned,” he said this month. Or should we believe the Coronavirus is less transmissible if the sport is more profitable?

What can we do when skipping means not pressing a button?

By Patrict Hunt Eduction Week At this time halfway through the school year, with all the deadly dull scheduling and paperwork squared away, school administrators’ jobs usually begin to resemble what most people already think we do all day: shaking down passless students in the hall, scowling through a teacher’s lesson from the back of her room, or imperiously directing a fire drill. But if other assistant principals’ first semesters have been anything like mine, they’ve spent countless hours in their offices with their masks pulled down to their chins, squinting at spreadsheets, managing what used to be a routine, hum-drum task: taking attendance.

Before the pandemic hit and schools were pulled unwillingly and with no preparation into the virtual realm, attendance was simple. In New York City, where I work, teachers filled out a bubble sheet for each class, and a secretary scanned them into a machine. Now, with the vast majority of our

students “full remote” and with staff scattered to the four winds, teachers do attendance online (with the same begrudging spirit and occasional forgetfulness, I might add), and I sort the marks and upload the information myself. And though my state’s department of education’s definition of “present”— students are considered present if they are “virtually present for the synchronous or asynchronous instruction”—invites a generous interpretation, my school has done an excellent job of staying true to what the spirit of being “present” actually is.

Our attendance isn’t great, though. Absences are way up, not only at my school but across the city. In a normal year, city schools average 92 percent attendance. On Oct. 26, our mayor released attendance data since school opened in the fall that put average attendance at about 85 percent. That may not seem like a dramatic decrease, but even as a former English teacher who occasionally counts on his fingers, I know that’s almost double the number of students who are absent from

school each day.

On top of that, there’s a new attendance problem, albeit one that’s familiar to those of us who attended high school before school shootings turned once-porous campuses into heavily monitored fortresses: skipping class. Last year, if you’d told me one of my students had been caught smoking in the parking lot during second period, I would have laughed in disbelief, but now that students are at home on their computers, it’s easier to skip class than it is to go. All you have to do is … not click the button to join your virtual class.

This is a problem because— brace yourself—when students don’t go to school, they don’t learn.

The pandemic has taken our carrots away. While students mostly come to school to see friends, they also walk through those doors each day, whether they realize it or not, for the attention and security the adults in the building provide, as well as the vague feeling that with every sonnet, Appomattox, and hypotenuse they learn, they’re

inching toward something positive in their future. They viscerally understand that there’s a purpose to the tedium. But this can only be internalized when they’re in the same place, at the same time, with the same people, every day.

The sticks have been yanked out of our hands, too. From a grade standpoint, my state’s new education department policy—similar to many others’ around the country—dictates that students’ grades cannot be adversely affected by attendance. Students cannot be given failing grades, either.

Anyone who has worked with adolescents for longer than one day knows you only get so far with minor penalties (say, detention) and incentives (homework pass!), but that also, paradoxically, serious penalties (being held back a year) and serious incentives (field trip) go a long way in encouraging most students to work hard and do the right thing most of the time.

OBITUARIES Longview ISD offers our most sincere condolences to our extended Lobo family Noble Grace Cammack Noble Grace Cammack, loving husband, father, and grandfather, died on January 11, in Longview, at the age of 99 and three days from his 100th birthday.

Noble Cammack was born on January 14, 1921, in Brookeland, Sabine County, CAMMACK Texas, the third of five children of Claude Grace Cammack and Sadie Ethel Walker Cammack. A sixth generation Texan, he was born and reared near the land that had been acquired by his maternal ancestors in 1830 through Republic of Texas land grants. He graduated from Brookeland High School in 1938, and as a young man, entered military service with the United States Navy during World War II. He graduated from Kilgore Junior College after his years in the U.S. Navy, and then moved to Longview in 1946 to temporarily assist his mother, Ethel Cammack Byrd, in her local restaurant business and boarding house that she opened during the great East Texas oil boom of 1930. On a blind date in 1949, Noble met the love of his life, Juanita June Gossett, a young English teacher at Longview High School. Noble and Juanita were married on April 8, 1950, at the First Presbyterian Church in her hometown of Commerce.

Noble was employed by Eastman Kodak for a few years and then followed by Lone Star Steel Company from 1950 until his retirement in 1983. He held various accounting positions during his tenure with the company. After his initial retirement, he worked for several years for the City of Longview in the purchasing department, volunteered with Meals on Wheels, and enjoyed spending time gardening and traveling with his wife. In the last eight years, he found great joy visiting with many friends at his retirement residence at Buckner Westminster Place. Noble was a longtime and faithful member of First Christian Church since 1950, serving as Deacon and Elder. For many years he and Juanita were active and devoted members of their beloved Cornerstone Sunday School class and cherished their many friends in the church.

Noble was a true gentleman who always had a good and kind word for others, and he never spoke disparagingly of anyone. Kindness and

Gregory Eugene Dolle Gregory “Greg” Eugene Dolle was born on February 11th 1969 in Longview, Texas and passed away on December 23, 2020 at his home in East Mountain, Texas.

Anybody that knew Greg knows that he never met a stranger. He had a personality larger than life and the DOLLE strength of an ox. He would give you the shirt off his back all while telling you an elaborate tale to get a good laugh. Greg enjoyed hunting fishing ATV riding horses and his dogs. Greg graduated from Longview High School in 1987. Go Lobos!

humility were characteristics throughout his life. He was known to always carry his signature white handkerchief for any mishap a child or lady might encounter, he always stood to assist any ladies with their chairs, and consistently opened doors for others with a kind gesture. His handshake, or the affirmative nod of his head, was as good as any legally binding contract. A true patriot with love for his Country, Noble never missed an opportunity to proudly stand for the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem, even when assisted with his walker in the last few years.

Mr. Cammack is preceded in death by his wife of 63 years, Juanita Gossett Cammack.

Also preceding him in death were all four of his siblings, Stella C. Harper, Price Cammack, Joe Bill C. Goode, and Jimmie Cammack. He is survived by his four children: a son, Kerry Noble Cammack and his wife, The Honorable Harriet Smith O’Neill of Austin; a son, Bruce Alexander Cammack and his wife, Mimi Garland Cammack of Longview; a son, Stephen Gossett Cammack and his wife, Kathy Wickersham Cammack of Austin; and a daughter, Teresa Anne Cammack Rice and her husband, Harold L Rice, Jr., of Longview. He was loved and affectionately known as “Bobo” to his thirteen grandchildren and step-grandchildren: Alan Cammack, Stuart Cammack, Dr. Alex Cammack, Cole Cammack, Blake Cammack, Brittney Cammack, Kendall Rice Tomberlain, Casey Rice, Matthew Tidmore, Jonathan Tidmore, Brandon Tidmore, Carolina O’Neill, and Hailey O’Neill. He was also blessed with fourteen great-grandchildren.

The family wishes to thank his loving and devoted caregivers and companions during the last few years. Their love, dedication, and service is greatly appreciated.

The following words were printed on a piece of paper, always close at hand, and read for many years in the home of Juanita and Noble Cammack: “Wherever you go this week, whomever you meet, remember to be kind and gentle, to be thoughtful and gracious, for you know not what burdens others may bear in their hearts or in their minds or in their bodies”.

The family will receive friends for a time of visitation Wednesday, January 13th from 6 to 7 p.m. in the Garden Court of Welch Funeral Home. A graveside Life Celebration with military honors will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, January 14, 2021, at Rosewood Park Cemetery in Longview.

Greg was proceeded in death by Grandparents Kenneth and Nadine Johnson, Grandmother Bessie Dolle, and Uncle David Lyon.

Greg is survived by his son James Michael Dolle, Parents Eugene and Joyce Dolle, Sister Cathy Sells and husband Richard Sells, Aunt Judy Lyon, Nieces Hailey and Lainie LaFavor, Nephew Logan Sells. Life long friends include JD Riley, Terry Carter, Zeke Woods, and Clay and Stormy Voyles and to many other friends to list.

The family will receive friends for a time of visitation on Wednesday, December 30, 2020 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m it the Garden Court of Welch Funeral Home. Condolences maybe offered online at www.cammackfamily.com.

CH ARTER PARTNERS Texas Council for International Studies

By Linda Buie Executive Director Beginning with the 2020-2021 school year, all Longview ISD schools are being operated by three non-profit charter partners: Texas Council for International Studies (TCIS), East Texas Advanced Academies (ETAA), and Longview Education (LEAP).

The Texas Council for International Studies (TCIS) charter partner operates the following schools: Hudson PEP Elementary School, Ned E. Williams Steam Academy, South Ward Elementary School, Foster Middle School, Judson Steam Academy, and Longview High School. Longview High School is a fully authorized International Baccalaureate® (IB) World School and has been for the past twelve years.

Earning the prestigious IB World School authorization requires the school to complete a three-year process to demonstrate meeting the IB rigorous standards and practices. Longview High School is authorized for the IB Diploma Programme for juniors and seniors. Additionally, the high school is currently in the authorization process to offer the IB Middle Years

Programme (MYP) at the ninth and tenth grades. All five other schools in the TCIS charter are also in the authorization process to become authorized IB World Schools. The three elementary schools will offer the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), and the middle schools will offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP). Additionally, TCIS also operates eight schools in San Antonio ISD. Texas Council of International Studies was created as a nonprofit organization to focus on the successful implementation all four IB programmes: DP, MYP, PYP, and CP in the schools that it is partnering with. TCIS was founded by experienced IB educators and community leaders who have the goal of enhanced student success through IB. TCIS facilitates the implementation of IB programmes through partnership agreements with IB schools and districts. TCIS then provides IB program development, IB professional training, curriculum planning, marketing campaigns and scholarship programs.

TCIS and partner schools commit to the following: Ensure a continuity and commitment to the standards of performance

espoused by the International Baccalaureate®; Facilitate program development, professional development, curriculum planning and scholarship programs at IB World Schools; Provide authorized IB professional development; Operate and manage schools by providing campus autonomy with expert school leadership support.

Texas Council of International Studies has a governing board of members who have a history of IB experience: Karen Phillips, President; Walter Sorensen, Vice President of Operations; Dr. Bill Thomas, Treasurer; Ted Williams, Member at Large; Margaret Davis, Chief Executive Officer

East Texas Advanced Academies

By Dr. Cynthia Wise Chief Executive Officer We are confident in our Culture Conscious Campus (CCC) model, which is a comprehensive model that encompasses four aspects of school culture, and we promise to deliver exceptional outcomes for students. It is our desire that our scholars are able to be beacons of light in our society therefore, our message for all of our families and, especially our students, is that we are committed as a Network to ensuring that our students receive the very best educational experience possible whether on-campus or at home.

We are a family of learners and our efforts will not be in vain; as ALL OF OUR CHILDREN are worth taking the time, energy and effort to educate, engage and

extend, even during the most challenging times. F or the first two weeks, from August 17 to August 31 , students will review policies, procedures, and expectations, get to know their new teachers, read, adjust to

“school hours”, complete universal screeners, adjust to synchronous and asynchronous learning formats through the use of Google Classroom. Google Classroom will be the learning platform that all ETAA students will use. It allows them to interact during classes, actively engage in assignments, take quizzes, collaborate with peers, communicate with teachers, and more. The remote return to school will also allow campuses to rehearse and finalize all safety and sanitation protocols to significantly reduce the risk of viral spread on campus.

ETAA is an LISD Partner of choice, and that extends to our learning models.

Please take time to carefully consider your options and what is best for your family.

Our schools will offer both face-to-face and remote learning beginning on August 17 .

Longview Educates and Prospers LEAP manages the Longview Early Graduation High School, Longview High School’s Career and Technical Education (CATE) program, and East Texas Advanced Manufacturing Academy.

Board members for LEAP include Mr. Wayne Mansfield,

Mr. Shawn Hara, and Mr. Keith Bonds, with a leadership team that includes district Longview High CATE Director Mr. Gary Kreuger, Academy Director Mr. Jody Sanders, and Early Grad H.S. Principal Mrs. Kristi Means.

The partnership of LEAP, TCIS and ETAA are governed by a 2017 state law called Senate Bill 1882 that provides extra funding to traditional public school districts that contract with outside entities such as charter networks, non-profits,

and universities to run their schools as an in-district charter.

In accordance with TEA policy, by having LISD be the authorizer of charter campuses, the district maintains the authority to set the ground rules the partners have to follow.
