COLUMBIANA Staff from three Columbiana County school districts will receive the COVID-19 vaccination this weekend, joining the first wave of school staff across Ohio to do so.
According to the Ohio Department of Education website, Columbiana, East Palestine, and Beaver Local will be the first school districts in the county to receive the vaccine.
Several other county school districts are in line to follow over the next four weeks as part of the K-12 School Staff Vaccination Program through the state.
The local vaccinations are scheduled to take place Saturday at Columbiana High School, and include school districts affiliated with the Mahoning County Educational Service Center.

COLUMBIANA A rise in yet more COVID-19 cases within Columbiana schools has prompted the district to turn to remote learning for the first two weeks of the new year.
Superintendent Don Mook announced the remote learning schedule during this week’s board of education meeting after first getting input from board members.
Students are currently off on winter break and the new schedule calls for remote learning for all students the first two weeks of January after classes resume, similar to what is being done in many other districts in the area.
“Our district has as many, if not more, coronavirus cases than any at this point,” Mook said, referring to other school districts in the county.
