COVID teaching is so hard : Educators share fears and frustrations about school in pandemic By Arthur Jones II Report: Most students live in CDC red zones
The coronavirus still haunts Sylvia DelaCerna, a former special education paraprofessional, who found out she tested positive on December 1. I felt like I was dying, she told CBS News. I was running fevers every day, you know, just having all of these physical ailments… My kids were afraid because they knew that I was like wasting away.
At Belleaire Elementary School in Bellevue, Nebraska, where she worked, multiple teachers tested positive for the virus during the fall. On November 20, the school sent out an email notice that informed DelaCerna, a 63-year-old Black woman, about what the school deemed a low risk exposure.
