By the Associated Press:
Kansas school districts are rushing to vaccinate their teachers in preparation for an eventual return to a full reopening of classrooms and before more a contagious strain of the coronavirus can spread throughout the state.
Governor Laura Kelly told the State Finance Council on Wednesday that about 60% of the state’s school districts have started vaccinating their teachers and staff. She discussed the push a day after the state Department of Education recommended that districts allow middle and high school students resume full-time in-person instruction if precautions are taken.
Several of the state’s largest districts have been offering in-person classes only part-time or teaching students only online.
