With many North Carolina teachers still weeks, if not months, away from receiving COVID-19 vaccines, a few districts have already helped give shots to hundreds of staff members.
On Friday, Jackson County Public Schools in Western North Carolina dismissed students early so staff could get vaccinated. Since last week, public school employees in Rutherford County, Swain County, and Union County received their first vaccine doses as well. In the Triad, Davie County Schools will make shots available to employees on Wednesday.
