Various of Malakoff ISD building ASSOCIATED PRESS Sherman, Texas - 13 February 2026 10. SOUNDBITE (English) MaKallie Gann, Mother: ++ZOOM - QUALITY AS INCOMING++ “That would definitely make me more comfortable. I know even speaking to my sixth grader, I kind of told her a little bit about what's going on. Just kind of like, just kind of when she saw it on the news and stuff like that, I told her as well. And she even was concerned of getting her own picture taken. And she was not wanting to go to picture day. She was asking already if she could miss because she was, it even gave her concerns even as a child. And so I told her, I was like, you know, maybe we could get the ball rolling to where we could a local photographer and that even made her feel better to where could have someone that we even know locally that we've used before do their pictures versus a big corporation.“ ++ENDS ON SOUNDBITE++ STORYLINE: At least a few U.S. schools have recently cancelled plans to have the photography firm Lifetouch shoot pictures of their students following widespread social media posts linking the company to a billionaire with years-long ties to Jeffrey Epstein. “No Lifetouch executives have ever had any relationship or contact with Epstein and we have never shared student images with any third party, including Apollo,” the statement Friday said. “Apollo and its funds also have no role in Lifetouch’s daily operations and have no access to student images.” Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
