THE FOLLOWING IS KILGORE COLLEGE'S STATEMENT ON THE RELAXING OF COVID-19 PROTOCOLS:
Kilgore College will make face coverings optional across all locations, effective Monday, May 17. For those attending on-campus summer classes (beginning June 7), to mask or not is a matter of choice and will be neither mandated nor discouraged as classes open at 100 percent capacity. Hand sanitizing stations will still be available in all buildings.
Students are strongly encouraged to wear masks when working in close proximity with others, such as in labs or group projects. Other changes beginning May 17 include:
• reopening water fountains (per filters being replaced),
• scheduling face-to-face meetings,
• renting facilities to outside organizations,
• hosting summer camps,
• allowing more than one person at a time on elevators,
• adjusting to 10 minutes between classes, and
• attending face-to-face classes physically.
The college will continue to evaluate this situation over the summer and adjust accordingly if the number of cases resurges.
