LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Shallowater ISD is inviting elementary-aged students to join the Mustang family for the first time in more than a decade. After losing more than 60 students last year, the district is opening applications for transfers to 1st-5th grades. “We want to make sure that if we’re providing opportunities to our kiddos, that we’re able to sustain them and make sure that they’re good opportunities for them,” Superintendent Aron Strickland said.
