COLUMBIA â As Columbia Public Schools prepares for in-person learning to start on Monday, the district is still in need of substitute teachers.
In the fall, one of the reasons elementary students had to revert back to virtual learning was staffing issues related to quarantine, isolation or other personal matters.
District spokesperson Michelle Baumstark told KOMU 8 News the district is relying on the vaccine to hopefully fix the future staffing issues.
The district had around 200 staff members eligible to receive the vaccine in Phase 1A because they are school nurses or are dealing directly with medically fragile children, according to Baumstark.Â
