MANCHESTER (AP) Several Connecticut school districts have been forced to close or stop in-person learning for a day, after educators attending vaccine clinics called in sick with side effects from the shot.
Manchester schools reported a shortage of teachers and bus drivers on Monday after a vaccine clinic for educators was held there over the weekend. I understand the challenges this causes for parents and families and had hoped to avoid going remote for the day, Matt Geary, the town s school superintendent wrote to the community Monday. I apologize for the inconvenience.
A similar incident caused a Colchester elementary school to close for a day last month and forced Stamford schools to delay a return to in-person learning for one day.
