Jan. 21—Bonner Springs teachers are among the first in Kansas to receive COVID-19 vaccines, district officials said Wednesday.
About 200 have gotten their shots since Monday, including all high school teachers who requested it as well as teachers at two of the three elementary schools.
"We have about 100 more still waiting," said Kaela Williams, district spokeswoman. "It is really exciting, like a bright spot in a difficult time."
In most districts in Kansas and Missouri, school nurses have already been vaccinated, because they were part of the first phase of front-line health care workers.
