Fox News
Chicago Public Schools announced Friday that it will require all its employees to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by mid-October unless they qualify for a medical or religious exemption.
"Our Chicago Public School communities deserve a safe and healthy environment that will allow our students to reach their greatest potential," Mayor Lori Lightfoot said in a statement. Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that California would become the first state to require all teachers and school staff to get vaccinated or undergo weekly COVID-19 testing. "This new policy enhances the district’s comprehensive reopening plan and ensures that students and staff can confidently learn in-person," Lightfoot said. "Taking this step will further our citywide vaccination efforts and build on our progress in slowing and stopping the spread of COVID-19."More Related News
