HAVERHILL â The teachers union is lashing out at the School Committee's handling of issues related to the pandemic, saying many committee decisions leave students and staff at risk of being infected by COVID-19.
The union has taken a vote showing no confidence in the committee, which has allowed certain groups of students to remain in classrooms as the number of COVID-19 cases increases steadily in Haverhill.
The union's vote, detailed in a letter to the committee, also criticizes the school district's plan to allow elementary students back into classrooms immediately after the holiday break â at a time when health officials predict a surge in virus cases due to holiday gatherings.
