Less than two weeks into the school year, a Kentucky school district has canceled in-person classes for the rest of the week after nearly a fifth of its students came down with Covid, strep throat, the flu and other illnesses.
The Lee County School District, which has just under 900 students, began classes Aug. 9 but noticed attendance drop to about 82% on Friday, Superintendent Earl Ray Schuler said.
By Monday, the rate dipped to 81%, and 14 staff members called in sick, Schuler said.
It’s immunity debt from those strict never-ending kentucky lockdowns, right? Or maybe they all forgot how to wash their hands?
Love that we can be sick as a dog and they still expect us to work. My boss told me he went to the grocery store to get stuff for dinner and the meat packer literally went “hey man I have covid they made me come in”
people being to forced to come to work sick is terrible, but when that happens, they should all be like that
