KANSAS CITY, Mo. â School districts are hopeful that Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly s announcement to earmark COVID-19 vaccine doses for teachers and students will help get kids back in the classroom faster.
The federal government is sending 25,000 additional doses to Kansas.
In total, Kansas will receive 115,000 doses per week. I think the announcement from the governor yesterday was one we cheered, Christy Ziegler, Chief of Student Services at the Shawnee Mission School District, said. I think that will allow us, I m hopeful it will allow us, to move much faster than anticipated.
