(The Center Square) – A bill giving vaccinated school staff paid administrative leave, rather than requiring teachers and other workers to use sick time, for COVID-19 passed with veto-proof majorities but is expected to be vetoed by Go.
School administrators across the state say a measure giving staff the ability to take administrative days rather than sick days for COVID-related issues will burden their ability to best educate children.
PRMS student wins Leavenworth County Spelling Bee
The Leavenworth Times
The Leavenworth County Spelling Bee may not have looked like a typical spelling bee this year. But a top speller for Leavenworth County has been crowned.
Alison Maley won this year’s Leavenworth County Spelling Bee, according to coordinator Denise LaRosh.
Maley is a sixth-grader at Pleasant Ridge Middle School.
The Leavenworth County Spelling Bee is sponsored each year by the Leavenworth Area Retired School Personnel Association.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the spelling bee was not an in-person competition this year. Instead, each participant took an online test that was created by the organizers of the national spelling bee.
