As NatDuddridgeTV reports, excitement was in the air this morning as students and staff headed back to school in Newark.
"During the course of the summer, we had 33 students positive, 97 employees positive. So we know that, obviously, the pandemic, while it has been more behind us than ahead of us, that it's still negatively impacting students," Superintendent Dr. Roger Leon told CBS2. Meanwhile, a teacher shortage continues to be an issue across the country, as well as in Newark.
"It was really hard to go to sleep, because I was so excited to come to school the next day," eighth grader Mazyck Thomas said. "We're in the eighth grade now, going to be really hard," Thomas said. "I feel like a child. We get up in the morning excited and jittery, because this is my first day," said ELA teacher Felicia Kemp.
"To see the actual teachers again in the rooms, and to see the school again," said one ninth grader name Nikias. School administrators say the school was built in a flood zone back in 1962, but water never came into the building until last year.
