[quote=jsteele]There have been a few threads on this topic that I've had to remove for various reasons. So, rather than wait for someone to get it right, I'll just post this myself.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/dc-school-staff-child-care-covid-vaccine-mandate/2021/09/20/771e53cc-1a10-11ec-bcb8-0cb135811007_story.html

[quote]D.C. Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) said Monday that all D.C. teachers and school staff and early child-care workers must be fully vaccinated against the coronavirus by Nov. 1, eliminating a testing option for these professionals who regularly interact with children who are often too young to be vaccinated.

The vaccine mandate was expanded to include workers at charter and private schools and day cares, who were not covered by a requirement announced by Bowser last month that included a test-out option.

A majority of the D.C. Council has asked the mayor in recent weeks to remove the testing option and extend the vaccine mandate to charter school employees, child-care workers and other city contractors who interact with children.

Monday’s announcement will do so, requiring a coronavirus vaccination for those and other school and child-care workers who are not employed by the government.[/quote]

[quote]Bowser also announced that student-athletes participating in campus sports who are 12 and older must be vaccinated by Nov. 1. Students who turn 12 between Sept. 20 and Nov. 1 must be vaccinated by Dec. 13. Fairfax, Loudoun and Montgomery counties have enacted similar requirements for their student-athletes.[/quote]

This also applies to private school personnel and child-care workers, but those are topics of other forums.
