The city told NBC Connecticut that there are eight nurse vacancies to be filled but that all schools are currently staffed with at least one nurse. There is at least one school nurse assigned to every hybrid school that is open at this time, Bond said.
Darnell Goldson, a board of education member, said although that s the city goal, it has yet to be achieved. Goldson emphasized that the board made it clear that in order for schools to reopen safely that every school needed a nurse. But according to him, after a meeting held with the superintendent earlier this week that is not the case.
