JANESVILLE — The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is investigating the Janesville School District, following their announcement Thursday that all staff would be vaccinated next Friday, January 22.
According to our partners at WISC-TV, ducators are expected to be included in Phase 1b of the rollout — those classifications have not been finalized yet — but the state is still in Phase 1a, covering frontline health care workers, residents and staff at long-term care facilities and first responders.
District spokesperson Patrick Gasper says their vaccinations are coming through Mercyhealth in Janesville, but could not answer why the district was getting the vaccines while the state remains in phase 1A.
