Vaccine Policy

Vaccine policy rescinded by School District 73

Apr 12, 2022 | 9:32 AM

KAMLOOPS — The Kamloops-Thompson School District has voted in favour of pausing its staff vaccination procedure.

The move means employees no longer need to provide proof of vaccination or disclose their vaccination status. Employees will also no longer need to take rapid tests or provide the results of the tests to the district.

“Our board made this decision based on provincial health guidance and advice from BCPSEA. We will monitor and respond to the evolving COVID-19 data and changes to public health directives,” said Board Chair Heather Grieve.

The decision by the board followed a recommendation made by the district’s vaccination policy committee.

“Our staff will continue to work together to follow provincial health and K-12 sector safety measures” stated Superintendent Rhonda Nixon. “Everyone adjusts to change in different ways, and we will emphasize empathy and kindness during this shifting landscape of COVID-19.”
