Among the Current's most-read stories of the week were yarns about San Antonio ISD offering substitutes $200 a day to offset a shortage in teachers and Northside ISD dealing with a wave of teachers calling in sick. Meanwhile, FEMA is opening COVID testing sites in SA and other Texas cities, and local health officials are warning folks to be on the lookout for fake testing locations.
