SD73 board chair wants provincial health office to make decision on vaccine mandate in schools
KAMLOOPS — Education critic Jackie Tegart is sounding the alarm bells about the province offloading a vaccine mandate for school staff onto each district.
“When it comes to vaccination of teachers and staff, the Premier’s choosing to sidestep the issue, creating a potential patchwork of programs across the province,” said Tegart on Wednesday at the B.C. Legislature.
Many others, including chair of the School District 73 Board of Education, doesn’t want school trustees being forced to make such a critical decision.
