STAFF IN Belmont County school districts received their COVID-19 vaccines last week, with health department staff, volunteers and school nurses conducting clinics daily at different sites.
During his Thursday talk, Gov. Mike DeWine said the four-week drive to offer at least the first of two vaccines to all school staff would be met by the vast majority of districts despite snow and ice storms. The overall goal is to have all students back in class full time by March 1.
Belmont County’s school districts have shared that aim and have stressed keeping their students in the classrooms as long as possible. Throughout the week, more than half the staff members in each district were vaccinated. Schools will now look to ways to redress any disruptions in learning this school year.

They were first recognized during the Southeast Region’s virtual Fall Conference on Sept. 24. Later three of the district’s board members were presented awards during the board’s December virtual meeting.
Michael A. Fador, vice president of the board, received two awards including the Master Board Member Award and the All-Ohio School Board Award for 2020. The Master Board Member Award is presented annually across the state to a select group of school board members. The award is part of the OSBA’s STAR Awards Program combining service, training, aptitude and recognition. It is a lifetime recognition and achievement.

ST. CLAIRSVILLE Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday updated the state on delivery of COVID-19 vaccines during recent winter weather and assured Ohioans shipments are still coming.
“Most of our counties spent time under snow emergency over the past few days,” DeWine said. “Over 29,000 first doses were delivered (Wednesday) and 28,000 second doses. … That’s not bad considering the situation. Vaccine shipments in Ohio and across the country unfortunately continue to be delayed. Ohioans with vaccine appointments this week should not only check the road conditions, but should also confirm their appointment has in fact not been canceled.”
Locally, Belmont County Deputy Health Commissioner Robert Sproul and his staff were able to hold a vaccination clinic one day earlier than planned on Wednesday at the Ohio Valley Mall.
