Burlington’s caseload of positive COVID-19 counts dropped slightly over the past week, with one new school case reported Friday, March 5 at Fox Hill Elementary.
Starting March 11, teachers, early educators and school staff members will be able to sign up for COVID-19 vaccine appointments through the state's 170 vaccination sites and mass vaccination sites plan to block off certain days to vaccinate educators, Gov. Charlie Baker said March 3.
The governor's announcement came as Baker and Education Commissioner Jeff Riley push for full-time, in-person education at all Massachusetts elementary schools by next month. Burlington public schools have had in-person elementary education since the beginning of the school year. Superintendent Eric Conti told the Burlington School Committee last week that the district was preparing for a full return to in-person education in September.
