She explained that at halfway through their third week of school, they have about 70% of students coming into school at 20,000 kids, and she said that, "that has gone extremely smoothly."

"We've talked, as superintendents in our network, how it's like flying the plane while it's being built." She thanks the strong team and the strong Lubbock community.

Dr. Rollo was also asked about the report that came out that made the top salaries of LISD staff known to the public. In the report, there were several six figure salaries, and none of them were teachers. Dr. Rollo responded by saying, "Well if you think about our school district and compare it to a large business, our district serves 27,000 students, and we have over 3,000 employees. We are charged with safety and security of our students and employees, we are charged with ensuring that our students are academically successful, plus all the extracurricular things that we offer. It's a lot of work to make sure things are running smoothly and efficiently, and so it takes a team of us to make that happen."

On the Wednesday edition of The Chad Hasty Show, incoming Lubbock ISD superintendent Dr. Behrl Robertson spoke with Chad Hasty about his vision for the future of LISD.
