We are so excited to announce that Talkington has been approved to become a UIL athletics school! This opportunity opens so many doors for our student athletes, cheerleaders, and fans. At Thursday's LISD School Board meeting, the board voted for this measure, and we are thrilled about the possibilities for the future of athletics. Thank you to all of our families who responded to the survey before the meeting. Your input is invaluable. We know this has been a tough month for our athletes and that no one solution worked for everyone, but we hope this path, which reflected the majority of community votes, will make Talkington an even better place.
