HAVERHILL â The teachers union is lashing out at the School Committee s handling of issues related to the pandemic, saying many committee decisions leave students and staff at risk of being infected by COVID-19.
The union has taken a vote showing no confidence in the committee, which has allowed certain groups of students to remain in classrooms as the number of COVID-19 cases increases steadily in Haverhill.
The union s vote, detailed in a letter to the committee, also criticizes the school district s plan to allow elementary students back into classrooms immediately after the holiday break â at a time when health officials predict a surge in virus cases due to holiday gatherings.
