Demonstrations on Saturday in Portales and on Tuesday in Clovis protested state education policies that require students, especially in elementary schools, to wear masks in response to changing guidance on COVID-19 prevention. Parents need a choice about whether their children should wear masks at school, said Nicole Tivis, organizer of the Portales event. We shouldn t have it shoved down our throats.
About 50 protestors gathered Saturday in front of the Roosevelt County Courthouse before spreading out along East Second Street, some carrying hand-lettered signs that carried anti-masking messages like Let our children breathe. Science not Politics.

New supports being put in place for students
Last updated 7/13/2021 at 4pm
It s no surprise to most that education has changed dramatically in recent years. One of the reasons is, of course, the integration of technology in many forms: from the network infrastructures to integrating devices, such as laptops, wireless projectors, digital tablets, online learning environments, and more.
The physical walls of the classroom have come down, so to speak.
There are many other factors influencing change, both positive and negative. Like it or not, increasing numbers of students come to us needing extra help in many areas. Old systems and programs are not always adequate to address needs. This is true not only in our district but across the state as well as the nation.
