[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a DCPS parent and I agree with Jeff’s posts here. The mayor must first propose a vaccine mandate before the WTU can respond. Teachers are being maligned needlessly. Some are at fault but many are not. Yes, the WTU was at fault last year but I blame the mayor and chancellor even more. Teachers have no faith in central office. I hope this year is better as otherwise I will lose my mind. [/quote]

why would the union not be able to propose a vaccination mandate? it would be the #1 health and safety measure they could get in a contract. Especially to the extent they can get DCPS to bargain for mandatory vax with staff unions. [/quote]

Why would they? What about eligible students? What about all the staff in schools that are not part of WTU. Only teachers are WTU. There is a lot of other staff around. Also, what about the security officers at middle and high schools? It makes little sense to fixate on teachers only. What about the entire neighborhood and community around schools? You cannot just single out teachers. Many hospitals are still struggling to make sure all their medical and administrative staff is vaccinated. Some hospitals are only at 60% vaccinated rate.  It needs to be a city-wide mandate if anything. The mayor is reluctant for a reason - because it is complicated and from what I have seen - our mayor and chancellor are not trail blazers. They muddle through with some sort of in-between confusing path. [/quote]

Maybe you should read what the pp wrote before spouting your talking points or perhaps your reading comprehension is sub-par

they would do it because vaccination is the #1 way to provide a safe and healthy workplace and school. This is not that hard to understand. Vaccinating all staff is going to go a LOT further than additional ventilation or hand sanitizer. Workplace health and safety are bargained over all the time. [/quote][/quote]
