Utah Gov. Spencer Cox is allowing state employees to work at schools during the staffing shortage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

State employees can take administrative leave to fill in at public and private schools, which have been heavily impacted by COVID-19.

The allowance comes through an executive order issued by Gov. Spencer Cox on Monday. He is asking state employees to use up to 30 hours of paid administrative leave to substitute teach, help in the cafeteria or work elsewhere in schools to ensure students can continue to attend in person through the end of the academic year.

Do they at least have to go through normal background checks?

Pray for rain Maybe heavens tears will cure Covid

Illinois politics: Gov. Pritzker to offer relief on groceries, gas, taxes in budget proposal'We have a growing economy. We have growing revenues,' the deputy governor said. 'At the same time nationally, the governor understands that the surge in inflation is taking a bite out of people's pocketbooks. And it's hitting working families hard in Illinois.' Why is he scared? Scared of the parents he got mad by, allowing their kids to eat lunch with actively infected students? Is he losing support? I know he got me flaming with some of his blissfully ignorant mitigation measures. Some of us still can't vaccinate all our children yet Weird how this happens before an election. How generous of our overlords
