SALISBURY – Wicomico County Schools Superintendent Dr. Donna Hanlin said officials continue to monitor staffing shortages.
On Tuesday, Hanlin presented the Wicomico County Board of Education with an update on COVID-19 cases and staffing challenges within the school system.
“I want to tell you what our current thinking is and what our current planning is,” she said. “As I’ve been saying all year, we are going to stay the course. We are going to do everything possible, and we are committed to keeping our schools open.”
While she noted the school system is not currently seeing COVID spread within school buildings, it is reporting several staff illnesses and staff vacancies.
“Right now, we are concerned enough that we may need to close a school for those reasons, but we’re also watching that very carefully,” she said. “Dr. Briggs and I both get a report every day that shows us the percentage of staff who are out in any given building because that is a safety concern. We cannot operate a building if there are a certain number staff and support staff, not just teachers.”
Defund public education issue school vouchers..hanling should be ashamed to call herself a Dr. Dr of fraud waste and abuse is more like it. Hear that great tax sucking sounds as our tax dollars are flushed down this failure called public education.
Nobody cares. Work harder . You should be well rested with a year off.
The liberals don’t want to hold students accountable and they don’t want to hold criminals accountable. Is there any doubt WHY there is a shortage of people to fill these positions? Why would anyone want to work someplace that being abused it allowed as long as you don’t hurt the feelings of the abuser.
Monitoring staffing? Is that like monitoring kimmarmi binns and Amy eskridge caught up in their coverup, and are now both recycled back into the school system? Don’t believe me? Go to govsalaries yourself and look.
