Dr. Rachel Jones sees a certain irony in getting her COVID-19 vaccination on March 13, her birthday.
“Last year on my birthday, it was the last day we had in-person class for the school year because of COVID,” said Jones, assistant superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction at Burnet Consolidated Independent School District. “This year on my birthday, I’m getting my vaccine. It’s a happy day.”

Getting Burnet and Marble Falls school staff vaccinated against the virus that causes COVID-19 is a team effort. The city of Burnet, Burnet County, and Ascension Seton Highland Lakes organized a vaccination clinic Saturday, March 13, for teachers and other school employees.
Burnet Fire Chief Mark Ingram told the Burnet City Council during a March 9 meeting he believes the clinic can vaccinate all Burnet Consolidated Independent School District personnel as well as a number of Marble Falls ISD staff. However, he did not think there was enough vaccine on hand to fully cover both districts, but future doses could take care of remaining staff.
