[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The public doesn't really need to know the raw numbers, as long as DCPS requires all of its employees to be vaccinated.  It's a pretty easy thing for an employee to accomplish:  simply present your proof of vaccination, and show up for work.  [/quote]

As a parent of a student that can't yet be vaxxed, I'm comfortable not knowing the numbers of teachers that are vaccinated if DCPS does in fact make the vax mandatory for teachers and staff -- presumably if we have mandatory vaccination, the percentage would be 100% (or near it).

But, in the likely event that the vax will not be mandatory for DCPS teachers and staff, how does that increase risk for students who are not vaxxed or who are immunocompromised?  What percentage of teachers not being vaxxed (40%?) seems like it's a unnecessary risk that teachers should not create for young kids?[/quote]

Well I can tell you they WILL NOT require the vaccine this school year. [/quote]

So, assuming that 1) vaccines won't be mandatory for teachers/staff, and 2) we won't know what percentage of teachers/staff are vaccinated, what's everyone's thoughts?

My main thoughts are that:
1) that my trust in teachers' purported need to make schools covid-safe is eroded
2) I'm going to have to believe in the absence of data that 40% of teachers/staff won't be vaccinated.  
3) I'll be angry, undoubtedly.  I've supported teachers doing DL until they were vaccinated, but if they are choosing to NOT be vaccinated in great numbers (and 40% to me is a great number in this situation), then I feel like I've been duped.  [/quote]
