CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - The Charleston County School District will have a district-wide eLearning day Monday as teachers get the opportunity to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Several schools in the district will also have eLearning days Tuesday and Wednesday.
The district distributed 2,004 vaccine doses to staff members last week, according to the district spokesperson Andy Pruitt. The district plans to distribute another 2,000 doses this week.
âI feel emotional because thereâs a lot of people who wish to have it [the vaccine],â said Clarke Central cafeteria staff member, Maria Rojas Barrera.
Rojas Barrera is one of approximately 1,400 Clarke County School District employees who received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine Wednesday. Employees are expected to receive the second dose on March 31.
On March 8, Gov. Brian Kemp expanded the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility list to include educators and school employees across the state.
Between two sites, Clarke Central and Cedar Shoals high schools, teachers, staff and other faculty were invited to sign up for appointments voluntarily through a mass email sent to employees throughout the school district. CCSD administrators and staff at the district office made sure that every employee was aware of this opportunity, said Jillian Whatley, executive director of student support services.
