SAN ANTONIO – Southside ISD officials are setting the record straight after postponing its virtual graduation video shoot.
The video shoot was set to start Wednesday, but the district canceled the event on Tuesday after “one student came forward with concerns involving exposure to COVID-19,” according to a news release from the district.
