54 Canyons District teachers take sick leave; 'bugs' depleting substitute teacher pool

SANDY — Fifty-four Canyons School District teachers called in sick Thursday, which is the equivalent of three elementary school faculties, a district spokesman said.
To further complicate matters, illness is also depleting the district's pool of substitute teachers, according to spokesman Jeff Haney.
"The flu and bug season is here, and it has hit Canyons School District pretty hard," Haney said.
All classrooms were fully staffed, but some substitute teachers had to switch their assignment
