Lubbock ISD’s new LIVE virtual school enrolls about 50 students as program opens
Summary
Lubbock ISD launched a virtual program called LIVE in August; 127 students applied, roughly 51–52 were enrolled when classes began Aug. 17, and eligibility included grade-level reading and STAAR-based criteria for grades 1–3. Staff said many enrollees were previously non-LISD students and are collecting impact data.
Lubbock Independent School District staff updated trustees on LIVE, the district’s recently launched virtual school, noting early interest and continuing enrollment fluctuation.
As of the committee meeting, 127 students had applied for LIVE and approximately 51–52 students were enrolled; applications opened July 23, closed Aug. 10, and classes began Aug. 17. Eligibility requirements include reading on grade level, with students in grades one through three required to demonstrate performance at the “Meets” level on prior STAAR results. Staff said the program allows virtual students to remain involved in FFA, UIL, athletics and other extracurriculars.
District staff also told trustees that many enrolled students were not previously attending LISD schools, including homeschool families, and that central office departments worked across teams to launch the program quickly. Staff are collecting additional information to determine the program’s overall impact and said lessons learned will inform the next enrollment period planned for November or December.
