[quote=Anonymous]I think the issue is leave, rather than being a question of principals or the district calling teachers back.  If a teacher has (or is caring for someone who has) underlying conditions that make return to work unsafe, my understanding is that they can request reasonable accommodation i.e., to continue to teach remote.  There is a similar issue with FMLA, but I am not a teacher so I don't know if that gets them leave or the ability to work from home.  The other issue is that the vaccine got emergency approval, so nobody can be forced to take it.  I don't know if someone chooses to take the vaccine, if they are still high risk such that they can request accommodation.  And there is the issue of, if a teacher has her kids at home (instead of at school) it's harder to bring them back to work, which perpetuates a circle of staying at home.

All this is to say, it seems rather complicated, our principal has said she's not sure all the teachers will even be back next year (scream face), and also maybe an actual teacher can clarify.  But there is no easy button on this.[/quote]
