I am going to guess that is a very small number of Teachers. Any Teacher teaching from home right now has an ADA exemption for this year. The vaccine might not be as effective for whatever their issue is, I have heard that some illnesses lead to diminished performance of vaccines. Some of those ADA exemptions might not be able to get the vaccine due to their specific issue. You have no clue what the issue is for those Teachers.

But, again, that is a small number of Teachers. The vast majority are back in the classroom teaching. I would be surprised if there are many ADA exemptions for next year.

But feel free to dump on the Teachers. I am sure that helps the vast majority of Teachers back in the classroom and who have been working their asses off all year long feel appreciated.

The Teachers at our ES have been great last year and this year. They have worked hard to make this work. It has not been the year we wanted but it has not been awful. We are excited to be back in the classroom next year but greatly appreciate the efforts of DSs Teachers this year.[/quote]

No one is dumping on teachers in general. My DC's teachers have been great too.

However it IS true, and I heard this from someone at Gatehouse, that Brabrand sent out an email asking teachers with ADAs who had been vaccinated to come back, and many still did not (some have). It is ALSO true that this senior leadership team member told me they had been very generous giving out ADAs (the numbers back this up). They expect to be less generous next year.

Of course these aren't most teachers. There were what, somewhere in the range of 3,000 ADA accomodations out of about 20,000 staff members? It's not everyone, but it's still quite a few.[/quote]
