If a group of teachers won the $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot, as has been hotly rumored on social media, it certainly isn t immediately apparent in educator absences from local districts.
The winning ticket was purchased at a Novi Kroger Jan. 22, but Novi Schools Communications Director George Sipple said there had been no change in attendance patterns over the past two days for any staff and a change was not anticipated. We ve heard the rumors like everybody else in the community, he said. While it would be fantastic if a group of teachers or other staff from Novi Community School District won the lottery, we have no reason to believe the rumors are true.
