Carthage ISD pauses partnership with Lifetouch until more information is verified

Carthage ISD is postponing Picture Days with Lifetouch while we carefully continue to review the current situation and gather additional verified information. The safety and privacy of our students and staff remain our highest priorities. We recognize the importance of this event for our families, and we are working diligently to ensure a safe and appropriate path forward. We understand families may have questions and concerns, and we appreciate your patience as we work toward a responsible and informed resolution.

Carthage ISD has been reassured by Lifetouch that past student photos have been securely stored and are only accessible to parents/guardians and authorized school officials. This pause is a precautionary step and is not an accusation of wrongdoing by Lifetouch.

Updates, including rescheduled picture dates, will be communicated as soon as additional information becomes available.
