cbleck@miningjournal.net MARQUETTE Ishpeming Public Schools has revised its 2021 Back To School Preparedness and Response Plan to continue dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. “We want to give flexibility to teachers to have the option of teaching remotely, either from their home or from their classroom,” IPS Superintendent Carrie Meyer said during Monday’s board of education meeting. “It previously was in the plan that they would report to their classrooms, but with the COVID pandemic, our team felt that it was best to give options.” The board voted to provide that flexibility in the plan as well as another update regarding remote learning and connectivity at Ishpeming High/Middle School.

And I am so excited about it,” said Khait-Vlisides last week, as the country awaited the distribution of the first COVID-19 vaccines.

What s it like to get the first vaccines? Health care workers share hopes, fears

Hospital workers on general medical floors, emergency departments, and ICU units are the first in line.  “My husband and I have been talking about this for [a] very, very long [time]. He s also in health care. We’re just excited to be able to protect ourselves, our children, and hopefully, try to protect our community.”   But not all health care workers – including those who have spent the last nine months in the trenches battling COVID – will opt in. “I will decline to take the vaccine,” one Henry Ford Health System nurse said.
