Vaccine clinics were set up inside the school for students ages 16 and up. Students under the age of 18 had to have their parents permission before being vaccinated. The students who were vaccinated say that this was a great chance to get their shot, especially after a long year and a half during the pandemic.
Two separate incidents became known to the community that caused the demonstration. In one incident, a student was bullied for attending a Black Lives Matter rally, while the other incident saw a student being bullied for their sexuality. Korbin Steinbrunner is a student at Wapakoneta High School. Once he learned of the two incidents, he wanted to team up with other students as well as community members to inspire positive change within the community.
Three more cases have been confirmed, with 2 in the high school and 1 in the middle school. This totals their cases to four. However, school officials say that isn't the problem, but rather the number of students having to quarantine. Superintendent of Wapakoneta City Schools, Aaron Rex, says if these numbers continue to increase, going virtual is their last resort, and their goal is to keep students in the classroom as long as possible.
