Everyone should be up in arms about this disparate treatment. Including the teachers' unions.

One of my daughters virtual charter teachers got her appointment today for a vaccine

This is so stupid. They’ll only vaccinate teachers who are already in person, but they won’t vaccinate child care workers who are in person? WTF.

Yes, charter teachers teaching in person by the end of February will be able to sign up for vaccines through One Medical - a completely different system than everyone else (don’t know why). Unfortunately, they didn’t get the vaccines today and who knows when they will receive them.

Some 65+ teachers are

But no teachers are person at any charters, only aides and support staff. Are they the ones being vaccinated?

I think some teachers are in person at Sojourner Truth and KIPP.

Ok, but that would still be only very few total.

"DC Health has established a partnership with One Medical, a membership-based primary care practice, to distribute the life-saving COVID-19 vaccine to the district’s nearly 10,000 public charter school staff. The vaccine will be distributed in waves, with teachers and staff who work in school buildings where in-person learning is taking place in the first wave of eligibility. Appointments open for registration on Monday, January 25, and the vaccine will begin to be administered on Tuesday, January 26."

Has anyone heard anything from their charter?!?! We haven't heard anythingggggggggggggg about vaccinations, a re-opening plan, literally nothing.

our charter school principal told me that, as of thursday last week, there had not been any systems put in place to allow charter teachers to sign up. they are in this tier but didn't have any visibility into how they'd access them.

In person teachers are being vaccinated this week, both DCPS and charter. I don't think there has been an announcement about non in person teachers yet.

I know so many teachers who want to return if vaccinated, but charter teachers are told they can't be vaccinated unless they are already in person. This makes no sense. Anyone have further insight?
