Governor Brown has announced that all school employees, including licensed, classified, volunteers, contractors and coaches, will be required to be fully vaccinated by a date yet to be determined. The Oregon Health Authority is charged with drafting the temporary rules for this mandate. We anticipate that the specific rules may take a few days until their release.
The rationale that has been shared with superintendents this morning includes:
1. the delta variant is most common in the US and much more transmissible and impactful,
2. local, state and national case rates are spiking at all-time highs,
3. the governor is adamant that all students return to instruction full-time this fall, and
4. the accepted medical and scientific is that face coverings and vaccinations are the two most significant mitigation strategies for curbing the spread of COVID-19 and its variants.
In the coming days, I will provide you with the details of this order as they are released.
