Three teachers and one teaching assistant died this week from complications of Covid-19, rattling a school district in southern Florida only days before students are scheduled to return to classrooms, officials say.
Two teachers and one teaching assistant died this week from complications of Covid-19, rattling a school district in southern Florida only days before students are scheduled to return to classrooms, officials said.
The two teachers and teaching assistant all died within a 24-hour period, union officials said. The union corrected a previous statement from their president Anna Fusco. Fusco incorrectly said three teachers and one teacher's assistant died earlier this week from Covid-19 complications. Broward County School Board Chairwoman Rosalind Osgood told NBC News on Friday that she learned of three deaths on Tuesday, including a teacher and teaching assistant who worked at the same elementary school.
A district spokesperson declined comment on the teacher deaths, citing the confidentiality of employee medical information. However, the spokesperson provided a statement about how its school board on Tuesday voted 8-1 to mandate masks in schools. The decision follows guidelines from the state health and education departments, the statement said.
