Among the 13 were four teachers, one security monitor, one cafeteria worker and seven school bus drivers, United Teachers of Dade President Karla Hernandez-Mats said. All were unvaccinated.
"These were extraordinary educators and people, and their loss is being felt throughout the community," Hernandez-Mats said.America's ongoing school nurses shortage turns dire: 'I don't know what the school year is going to bring'The school district's Covid-19 dashboard keeps track of cases, but not deaths. A spokesperson told CNN they were aware of the 13 deaths anecdotally and through family members who reported them.

Just a few hours into the event, 40 people had come to receive their first shot, she said. While that number may not seem large, she said it gives her hope."All that misinformation is creating a lot of fear and this is an underserved community," Hernandez-Mats said.
