Dear Kaneland Staff and Families: As you know, the Kaneland staff have the opportunity to receive their second dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday through Thursday this week. The second dose is affecting many of our staff members with a variety of side effects. We have approximately 125 teachers and support staff members that have called in sick today. Unfortunately, there are not enough substitutes to cover the absences of our staff.
Therefore, there will be NO SCHOOL today, Thursday, March 11, 2021 for any Kaneland student. This day will be considered an emergency day and one makeup day will be added to the end of the school year. The last day of the 2020-2021 school year will be announced after spring break.
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely,
Kaneland District Administration
Also, It came to my attention that a lot of the Life Insurance Companies will not pay the death benefits if you get the shop and happen to die from it, because the vaccine is considered to be experimental and they will not cover that. I wonder how many people found that out the hard way. Sadly enough, I've heard of two. Both distant acquaintances. I am told that one got flat out denied, and the other is still in negotiation. Has anyone else heard of this?
I have not heard of this!!!! That is horrible news
