[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The devil is in the details though. It is nice to have a mandate but who is going to follow up with teachers and staff. Will vaccine cards be checked or do folks just have to say whether they are vaccinated or not. Who is going to be checking in weekly regarding unvaccinated folks getting their tests, etc. That is a lot of follow up work. And principals will be reluctant to fire teachers mid-year given the teacher shortage. They will be stuck with a substitute all year. Not saying it isn’t a good first step though [/quote]

You are right, definitely a good first step. It is more work but the more people who are vaccinated, the fewer quarantines and COVID-related outages there will be. I work in a school and the follow-up work from quarantines and infected staff is a lot too. More vaccinations will cut down on that. My understanding is that fully vaccinated staff have to upload their vaccination card and they will get a "time off" award of 8 hours.[/quote]
