Description: As the provincial government deliberates on the groups of people who should receive the vaccine first, the Board asks that the government give a high level of priority to teachers, educational assistants and others who work with cohorts of students. In our opinion they deserve high priority to receive the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible.

Description: Sonia Furstenau on Twitter: "The @bcndp released a 17-step plan on how to implement mandatory vaccine policies for school boards, 2 months into the school year. It's confusing why gov’t chooses to put this on SDs & let go of responsibility for public health decisions. 1/ #bcpoli #bced https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/education/kindergarten-to-grade-12/support/vaccinep-policy-guideline.pdf / The resources, time and money that would need to go into developing the policy alone is significant. COVID numbers are still high and children under 12 are still not vaccinated - the time it would take 60 school districts to implement is an unnecessary delay. 2/ #bcpoli #bced / The Province announced proof-of-vaccination requirements in August. If gov’t has always regarded school boards as employers, then this guidance should have been released during the summer to give them time to follow through. 3/ #bcpoli #bced / If we agree that the best protection for our students is a vaccinated adult, then why not ensure that is the case? Releasing guidance at the end of October is too late, and shows a lack of planning from this govt. 4/4 #bced #bcpoli"

Description: It has become clear to us that a COVID-19 vaccine mandate is likely to come to the public education system. To respond to this rapidly shifting ground, the BCTF Executive Committee met again last night, discussed the issues, and took the position that the Federation supports provincial mandatory vaccines in the K–12 system for school staff and volunteers.
