  1. Remote or In-Person, if you don’t have healthy staff it’s hard to teach students…

    “Kids are less than two weeks back from Christmas break and the COVID situation is beginning to become an issue that could require action soon.

    That’s the message from Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles who, in a letter to families Tuesday, says they are watching the numbers of not only cases but close contacts who have to quarantine and indicates they are becoming concerned about staffing in their buildings.”

    “While many in the community want an exact figure of cases or students quarantined to be established before the district goes to remote learning, Nettles has been hesitant to make those types of declarations. He also notes this situation is different because when staff is involved, it becomes a matter of if the district can continue to operate with certain staff members in quarantine.”

  2. constant sadness looking at this report. when you are in a store….wearing your mask….or other place where people are risking their lives to serve you, thank them. mask up, socially distance, wash your hands, stay home if you can.

  3. I know how perverse this is, but at least we didn’t go back over 100 deaths. Keep vaccinating.

  4. I fear the falling death rate is partly because Covid has already burned through so many congregate care facilities. The dry tinder has burned and it is moving into greener branches.
