School district is temporarily closing after 2 teachers died from COVID-13 within days of each other
A Texas school district is temporarily shutting down through the Labor Day weekend after two middle school teachers died from COVID-19 within days of each other.
Connally Independent School District in Waco, Texas, closed its five schools for the rest of the week following the death of Natalia Chansler, 41, on Saturday. The sixth-grade social studies teacher's death came just days after David McCormick, 59, a seventh-grade social studies teacher also died from COVID-19 complications.
Both Chansler and McCormick worked at Connally Junior High School, Assistant Superintendent Jill Bottelberghe said.
"We are very heartbroken," Bottelberghe told the Waco Tribune-Herald. "This is the second staff member that we have lost in a matter of a week due to COVID. It is very devastating as far as the students, the staff, and the community as a whole."
