A public school district in Arizona was forced to scrap plans to reopen Monday after more than 100 teachers and staff members staged a “sickout,” calling in sick for the day.

The J.O. Combs Unified School District, located in the Phoenix metropolitan area’s southeastern outskirts, said in a letter to families that it had to cancel all in-person and online classes originally scheduled for Monday “due to insufficient staffing levels.”
