Local school district representatives said they were pleased that teachers were going to be getting COVID-19 vaccines beginning next month now that the governor has expanded the state’s vaccine rollout.
“I am extremely happy,” said Bridgeport Superintendent Michael Testani. “We anticipated something like this might be coming down. We didn’t know when, but I’m glad it’s sooner than later.”
