CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - The Charleston County School District is now offering COVID-19 vaccinations to all eligible students.
On Tuesday, the district began the process of converting high school gyms into make-shift Pfizer clinics for any student over the age of 16 with parental consent. Ellen Nitz, director of nursing at CCSD, says each clinic will last a day before moving to another school.
“Principals have sent out a link from MUSC for parents to be able to sign up their kids. That way we have a list of students that we can work off of,” Nitz said, adding that if parents didn’t know about the link they still had the ability to work directly with the district to get their child vaccinated.

CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - For the second school year in a row, every Charleston County School District student will be able to eat breakfast and lunch at school for free, district officials announced on Tuesday.
Meals will be served at no cost to all students, whether or not the school they attend is part of the Community Eligibility Program.
“Last week, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) announced a set of nationwide waivers that will allow school meal programs and childcare institutions across the country to serve healthy meals for the 2021-2022 school year,” CCSD officials said.

CHARLESTON COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - All teachers and employees at Charleston County schools may soon receive a bonus of $500, and the money could be in their account as soon May.
Charleston County School District Chairman Eric Mack says he’s calling a special school board meeting Monday to propose and vote on the bonuses.
“The pandemic has really been a struggle for some folks,” Mack said.
These bonus checks would go to all Charleston County School District employees.
The $500 amount is the total after taxes. This would cost the district between $5.1 and $5.2 million, but Mack says it’s well worth the cost to show their appreciation.
