Some Tulsa Area School Districts Shift To Distance Amid Need For Substitutes
Due to the lack of substitute teachers, some Green Country school districts have shifted to distance learning this week. We need our kids in school and learning and when we have teachers out for quarantine or just regular illnesses, we can t run the building without those great adults, said Broken Arrow Associate Superintendent of Instructional Services Karla Dyess.
Broken Arrow shifted its entire district online, while Union Public Schools moved its high school students to distance learning because of absences.
Some districts are getting creative to help keep kids in the classroom, by using principals, secretaries, and even superintendents to fill gaps right now created by teachers who need to quarantine.
