Mesa Public Schools held vaccination events for its employees interested in getting immunized against the COVID-19 virus. In a survey by the district, 76% said they had either gotten the vaccine or were interested.
Like many school districts, San Carlos Unified was on spring break when the state decided to close school buildings due to the COVID-19 pandemic last March. This means it’s almost been a year since the district, located on the San Carlos Apache Reservation, started conducting classes remotely.

Teachers have also struggled, and the challenges are apparent when Manuelito sits in on virtual classes.
