SC superintendent calls for teachers to be moved to top of phase 1b for COVID-19 vaccine By Caroline Coleburn | January 12, 2021 at 3:23 PM EST - Updated January 13 at 6:25 PM
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman is calling on Gov. Henry McMaster and the Department of Health and Environmental Control to move teachers to the top of phase 1b for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Teachers are currently a part of that vaccine phase, but Spearman wants them prioritized among the group so they receive the vaccine before anyone else in phase 1b.
Her argument is if teachers can get vaccinated, schools can open five days a week in-person, allowing parents to return to work.
