"Due to a high number of staff absences related to the game, as well as other staff absences, we have determined that we have insufficient staff coverage to ensure a safe learning environment," the school district said. "In order to ensure that our staff members with children in football, band, cheerleading, drill team, and our audio video production team have the opportunity to safely travel to support our students in Kingsville, all Lago Vista ISD schools will be closed on Friday, November 22."

The Lago Vista Vikings will be traveling to Kingsville on Friday, Nov. 22, to take on the Port Isabel Tarpons at 7 p.m.
