Seattle Public Schools says classes are canceled for this Friday due to a shortage of teachers.
The district told Fox News that, as of last week, more than 600 educators had requested a substitute and additional requests came in this week. It said teachers and staff have historically requested off the day after Veterans Day but because of current circumstances, the district does not have the capacity to"ensure student safety and high-quality learning.
Ahmed Ali of Othello Station Pharmacy gives the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus disease vaccine to Loic Schlagel, 9, while his father Kyle and brother Remi, 6, watch him, during a Seattle Public Schools' school-day clinic at Bailey Gatzert Elementary in Seattle, Washington. SPS said the number of leave requests after a federal holiday is"indicative" of the fatigue that staff and students have experienced since returning to the classroom and a four-day weekend"may offer physical, mental, and emotional restoration."
Childcare, custodial work, and other functions will continue in schools on Friday, SPS told Fox News in a statement. Washington requires all state employees to be fully vaccinated. SPS announced last month that 99% of its staff were fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
