FORT SMITH, Ark. — About half of those receiving COVID-19 vaccinations as part of a service provided by Fort Smith Public Schools went to teachers, with three Fort Smith School Board members also receiving the district’s initial allotment of 400 vaccines. 
About 200 of the participants at the event were FSPS teachers who work in a classroom. Another approximate 100 of the available vaccinations went to FSPS educators and employees who have direct student contact including counselors, media specialists, paraprofessionals, assistant principals, principals and substitutes. Approximately 40 employees of the district’s child nutrition department, facilities department (including building custodians), and transportation departments received the vaccines, as well as approximately 25 secretaries, social workers and SPICE after-school care providers, said Zena Featherston Marshall, FSPS executive director of communication and community partnerships.
