The district said it looks like most vaccination appointments will be from 1:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.

“BPS is committed to providing easy accessibility to the COVID-19 vaccine for our most at-risk employees currently eligible to receive it (and interested in doing so),” Superintendent Dr. Mark Mullins said in a statement. “This is a first and promising step to hopefully getting ahead of this devastating and deadly virus and we will do everything within our power to ensure those who want the vaccine can get it.”

School officials acknowledge the majority of the district’s employees work during these hours, but they will work with staff 65 and older to make sure they make it to their appointment.
