FORT KNOX, Ky. (AP) — Officials say a school counselor at a central Kentucky Army post that started in-person classes in August has died after being diagnosed with the coronavirus. A Department of Defense education spokesman says Fort Knox Middle-High School counselor Pamela Harris was diagnosed with the virus and was being treated at a local hospital when she died Tuesday. The Federal Education Association-Stateside Region represents educators at schools on military bases and says it warned officials about the dangers of opening schools for in-person learning. Officials say they are trying to provide  “a quality education in the safest and most effective manner possible.”
