(New Carlisle, IN) - Faculty and staff at New Prairie are getting vaccinated, and none too soon.

On Monday, March 29, 150 school employees will receive the vaccine. Some will receive their first dose, others their second.  100 of them will travel to Penn High School for appointments.  Schools in the New Prairie district will release students early on Monday, so teachers can make their appointments.

The school district has made contingency plans for possible e-Learning later in the week, in case too many teachers become sick from vaccine side-effects.  New Prairie High School has already gone to 100% e-Learning next week because nearly 150 students are either sick or quarantined.
