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
Wow the entire staff called in sick - safe my ass
Hey when you heard Jim called in sick with the same vaccine you had, wouldn't you call in sick as well? Even if you felt fine lol.
My favorite part is that this is just a "make up day" so they will still have to go in on a beautiful summer day they wouldn't before.
