School districts are canceling thousands of classes due to staff shortages and teacher burnout
This is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. After more than a year of virtual learning, students have returned to schools burdened by new health protocols, such as extra cleaning requirements, and not enough staff to take on the extra work. One Michigan school district announced earlier this month that they were taking the full week of Thanksgiving off,.
The staff had no summer break, since a lot of students did summer school, Alena Zachery-Ross, the superintendent of Ypsilanti Community Schools, told NPR. And coming back in-person hasn't been an easy transition. Custodial workers have racked up 800 hours of combined overtime, and they still can't keep up with all the disinfection tasks,Zachery-Ross's staff told her they were going straight to sleep when they got home this weekend.
