Background:
|
|
At the September 9, 2021 Special Board meeting, the Board adopted a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for all district employees and volunteers. Since this time, the trajectory of COVID-19 and its impact on public health has changed. Many employers have found their COVID-19 vaccine mandate to be unnecessary and have rescinded the mandate as a result.
With the COVID-19 vaccine mandate in place, all new hires and individuals interested in volunteering in MPS schools must submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination before starting. Medical and religious accommodations are available but must be requested by the new hire/volunteer. Rescinding the COVID-19 vaccine mandate will remove the requirement of uploading proof of vaccination or obtaining an accommodation, which will in turn speed up the hiring/onboarding process for new hires and volunteers. |
