Clinton Schools Give All Teachers COVID Sick Days Back

The State of Illinois passed legislation last week that would give vaccinated teachers sick days back due to COVID. 

 

Many districts in central Illinois are taking the law a step further and giving all teachers any sick time back due to COVID. Clinton Schools Superintendent Curt Nettles told Regional Radio on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday only allowing vaccinated people their sick days back is a political move by the Governor.

 

 

According to Nettles, the legislation does not cover unvaccinated staff but indicates the conversations among him and his peers are they are inclined to give all teachers their COVID sick time back. He points out this is the latest of superintendents' newfound empowerment to run their districts how they see fit.

 

 

The Clinton Board of Education approved the proposal Tuesday night.
