ROTHENBURGER: ‘After you, Gaston’ game on teacher vaccinations must end
TWO THINGS SHOULD HAPPEN now that Premier John Horgan says it’s up to school districts to decide whether or not teachers and support staff must get COVID-19 vaccinations.
Horgan insists school boards are the direct employers of teachers and staff, and therefore have the authority to do it. And he says that since the boards are close to their community they’re in the best position to decide.
So, the first step is for school districts, including Kamloops, to call his bluff and declare their own mandatory vaccinations.
