Governor Says Educators Welched On Promises

Gov., DeWine publicly rebukes school officials in Akron and Cincinnati…for backtracking on commitments they’d made…to offer in-person learning by March, 1st. He calls it unacceptable…after employees in those districts were among those prioritized for coronavirus vaccines because of their reopening promises. The governor says he isn’t telling schools or parents what to do, but is warning those that made reopening commitments…in exchange for getting prioritized vaccines…to live up to their word. The governor emphasized the importance of returning kids to school, pointing to the academic, social and mental health consequences of extended time off campus.
