K8 Students Will Be Back In Class Following Winter Break; Staff Concerned About Lack of Subs
Though many of their peers in Humboldt County are taking an extra two weeks to quarantine after the holidays, Del Norte’s K8 students will return to campus on Jan. 4.
The Del Norte Unified School District Board of Trustees reached this conclusion on Thursday after hearing from parents who said it felt like their children were being punished for other people’s worries about the novel coronavirus.
But staff were more worried about their coworkers and how their jobs would be covered if they needed to self isolate or quarantine after the holidays. Paige Thompson, lead negotiator for the Del Norte Teachers Association, said she was absent for two days before the Thanksgiving break and there was no one to sub for her.
