New York City Department of Education’s more than 150,000 employees are already required to submit either proof of vaccination or a weekly negative COVID-test result. The new mandate, announced in late August, removed the test-out option. More than 90 percent of teachers have already been vaccinated, but the vaccination rate for school staff members — including custodial staff, school lunch workers, and other personnel — is much lower .
There had been concerns that Monday’s mandate deadline would lead to teacher and staff shortages at schools across the city, and unions representing DOE employees have been pushing to delay enforcement of the mandate, in addition to opposing having a mandate without the test-out at all. A DOE spokesperson said on Saturday that the city was confident the new stricter mandate, which had faced at least two unsuccessful legal challenges before the federal appeals court’s injunction, would ultimately be upheld.
