Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, February 18, 2021

In the end it all comes down to the weather.

Ada school's anticipated teacher and staff vaccination date originally set for Feb. 19 is rescheduled for Friday, Feb. 26.

Meri Skillier, Ada superintendent said, "We were planning a two-hour delay on Friday, Feb. 19, in order to accommodate the Covid 19 vaccination of our teachers and staff.  

"As is consistent with this world over the last 11 months, we’ve run into a small roadblock.

"Because of the widespread winter weather systems across the Midwest and the East coast, the shipment of vaccines earmarked for Ada Schools and aimed toward our provider, Ohio Northern University, have been delayed."

The Ohio Department of Agriculture (ODA) is responsible for many of the implementation plans for farm regulations.

The Pesticide Applicator License is part of the pesticide implementation plan, which farmers must obtain to apply restricted-use pesticides.
