MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s top education official is urging everyone headed into school buildings in coming days to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and wear masks. Jill Underly says those steps will help ensure schools don’t have to shut down amid a spike in new cases. The state superintendent of schools wrote an editorial Wednesday urging a united front against the virus. She noted that the situation was different than last year thanks to the availability of vaccines. Many schools in Wisconsin didn’t open to in-person learning in the fall of 2020, or took a hybrid approach for at least part of the year.
