Board attorney Jack Lackey Jr. added there are no hospitals within 100 miles that have any rooms available. Bentzel said it’s not “looking good” for students to return to traditional learning on Monday due to the increasing COVID numbers in the county, the hospital’s capacity, and a large number of teachers and staff in the district who are either positive or in quarantine.
Assistant Superintendent of Administration Laura Morris also provided an update about the COVID vaccine. She said educators are in the third-phase of receiving the vaccine, which is expected to be within the next couple of months. She added 802 of the district’s 1,193 employees have signed-up to get the vaccine.

Christian County Public School officials heard and approved the staff COVID-19 vaccine distribution and the latest school re-entry plans during their Thursday evening meeting.
Assistant Superintendent of Administration Laura Morris told board members the COVID-19 vaccine would be available to educators in the third phase of the state’s roll-out plan.
Morris added it’s strongly recommended for staff to take the vaccine. The district will partner with the Christian County Health Department for proper distribution. The vaccine will be free and paid for with federal funding. Staff must sign up for the vaccine by December 31 but can take their name off the list if they decide they don’t want it.
