MINGO JUNCTION Faculty and staff at Indian Creek Local Schools will be obtaining vaccinations during the next week in the latest move to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Superintendent T.C. Chappelear informed board members during a brief session on Thursday that roughly 140 employees will receive their shots on Thursday in the Indian Creek High School gym in cooperation with the Jefferson County Health Department.
“We will have a vaccination day on Thursday,” he said. “We will have a remote learning day that day to help facilitate the vaccinations.”
In other business, officials hope to return to more in-person classes for the remainder of the year and are already setting their sights on graduation. Chappelear said they also plan to hold commencement exercises this spring. The board has already scheduled next year’s graduation for May 22, 2022, at Franciscan University of Steubenville, but is also eying activities this year for May 23.
