More than 160 teachers with Henderson County Public Schools have signed a letter stating the School Board has been inconsistent with the COVID-19 data it s used to make decisions about in-person learning.
West Henderson High science teacher Kathleen Abraham, one of around 950 teachers working for the school system, penned the letter and began sending it to teachers for their support Dec. 10.
She submitted the letter and signatures as public comment Dec. 13 in time for the School Board’s meeting the next day.
“It felt like in the summer when the School Board was meeting there was a lot of talk about making sure teachers could stay healthy and making decisions that kept our students healthy,” Abraham said on Friday.
