(WMC) - Itâs been nearly one year since Shelby County Schools closed classrooms when the pandemic hit. SCS returned to in-person learning Monday morning. This past week, SCS said they achieved their goal of vaccinating 6,000 teachers and staff members, allowing every teacher the opportunity to get the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Teachers we spoke with feel mixed emotions about returning as the pandemic continues. Some feel at ease, others are nervous. One teacher said she received her first shot of the vaccine, which makes her a bit more comfortable.
