In a report to the Johns Creek City Council April 26, Looney announced updates on staff vaccinations, technology upgrades and strategies to restore academic progress stunted by disruptions from the pandemic.
While roughly 3,500 Fulton County Schools employees were vaccinated at Mercedes Benz Stadium,
Looney said he hopes more will participate. He said the district has no plans to mandate vaccinations for its more than 14,000 employees and 93,000 students unless ordered to do so by state or federal authorities.
Looney highlighted advances in the districtâs technology, pointing out increases in use and availability. Bandwidth doubled, and digital resources increased tremendously, he said.
