Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced Thursday, teachers and school support staff are being moved up to a priority group in the Stateâs COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan.
âThis is great news,â Woodward Public Schools Superintendent Kyle B. Reynolds said. âI have to credit Dr. Kirkendall for encouraging us to reach out to OSDH to get our staff, whom most of us consider front line workers, moved up on the priority list.â
According to State Superintendent of Public Instruction Joy Hofmeister, this is a tremendous move toward protecting the health of our hardworking teachers.
âTeachers are the heart and soul of our school community, and we cannot have school without them,â said Hofmeister. âI am grateful to Gov. Stitt for his decision to elevate K-12 teachers in the vaccine distribution plan.â
