Please mandate teacher vaccinations with no exceptions. Once a week testing leaves 4 potential contagious days for an entire class. The data shows unvaxxed adults are the largest COVID transmission vector.
I see teachers sitting alone in their rooms unmasked on breaks or eating lunch and we have no idea who is vaxxed or not. That's a big miss.
We need *weekly testing* of ALL people regularly coming onto ALL campuses (students + staff + volunteers). We need this data to be able to be sure that everyone is protected. Additionally we need strong guidance of masking in schools. As a teacher, I am frequently seeing students not wearing masks around campus, and I have no means of enforcing it aside from saying "please put on a mask." If students refuse, it feels as though I do not have the support to help this student either get masked or moved off campus.
