Governor John Bel Edwards extended the priority list to include educators, though the process may take a while. "The biggest thing is we’re just going to have to be patient because it's not happening overnight,” said Scott Devillier, the Superintendent of Zachary Schools. Devillier told WBRZ, he plans to work with a local healthcare provider to bring vials of the vaccines to the schools for those who want the shot once more become available.
