LRSD provides update on vaccination effort LRSD provides update on vaccination effort January 28, 20219:56 pm Little Rock School District Superintendent Mike Poore told the LRSD Board that 1,600 district employees have received the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. That’s half of the 3,200 the LRSD employs. Another 200-300, who were late to register for a vaccine appointment, should receive shots next week, Poore said. Arkansas Children’s Hospital, Cornerstone Pharmacy, Baptist Health, Don’s Pharmacy, Kroger and Park West Pharmacy have run vaccination clinics for the district. Advertisement Teresa Knapp Gordon, president of the Little Rock Education Association, celebrated the vaccination effort, but also asked for a moment of silence for the educators who have died of COVID-19. She said four LRSD educators and 29 statewide have died of the coronavirus, and she cited numbers recently released by the Arkansas Department of Health: Cumulatively, there have been 10,062 cases among K-12 public school educators and 23,905 student cases. That means 12-14% of Arkansas teachers have tested positive for the disease (estimates on the number of teachers in the state range). Gordon noted that the longterm impacts of the disease on children aren’t known.
