North Carolina must vaccinate teachers before asking them to return to classrooms for in-person instruction, the N.C. Association of Educators said Monday.
“Educators are the epitome of essential, front line workers, and getting them vaccinated is the most critical step to restarting in-person instruction statewide,” said Tamika Walker Kelly, president of the teacher advocacy organization. “Twenty-three other states are vaccinating educators right now, and we should be among them.”
The call to prioritize teacher vaccinations came during a NCAE press conference held by the organization to share its 2021 legislative agenda.
Walker said school districts must also adhere to safety protocols such as social distancing and requiring masks as outlined by the ABC Science Collaborative and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
