As students head back into the classroom, school districts are defying. The governor's essentially banning mask mandates florida. Governor, Ron de Santis. Parents are in the best position to know what's best for their kids and texas. Governor Greg. Abbott kids will not be forced by government or by schools to wear a mask in school. Both Republican governors ignoring the science and data. According to CDC research in places where mask use was required, fewer people ended up in the hospital. But Abbott and santas are doubling down on their fight against mandatory masks. Schools that do not comply will face financial consequences according to both of the governor's orders in Miami Dade County. The superintendent says his decision will not be made out of fear of losing his salary. But advice from his medical task force, I am accepting 100 of their recommendations inclusive of mandatory masking with accommodations as determined are in the best medical interest of students. Abbott and the scientists are both pushing back on legal battles. The governor is looking at polls. He's no longer even talking to his own medical experts.

I know there are a lot of people out there trying to turn a public safety measure that his Children were in mass in school so they can be safe into a political dispute caught in the middle. Our Children at school, joe biden suggests that if you don't do lockdown policies, then you should quote, get out of the way. I'm standing in your way. I'm not gonna let you get away with it

All New York City public school teachers and other staffers will have to get vaccinated against the coronavirus, officials said Monday as the nation's largest school system prepares for classes to start next month.

The city previously said teachers, like other city employees, would have to get the shots or get tested weekly for the virus. The new policy marks the first flat-out vaccination mandate for city workers in the nation's most populous city.

About 148,000 school employees — and contractors who work in schools — will have to get at least a first dose by Sept. 27, according to an announcement from Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city health and education departments.

The city hasn't immediately said what the penalty will be for refusing, or whether there will be exemptions. The previous vaccinate-or-test requirement had provisions for unpaid suspensions for workers who didn't comply.

At least 63% of school employees already have been vaccinated. That figure doesn't include those who may have gotten their shots outside the city.

School starts Sept. 13 for the city's roughly 1 million public school students.

It's not immediately clear how unions representing teachers and other school employees will react. The city Education Department says it's discussing the matter with them.

The announcement comes as New York and some other cities and states have been fighting the virus' highly contagious delta variant by ratcheting up pressure to get more people inoculated.

New York City last week began requiring proof of vaccination to enter restaurant dining rooms, gyms and many other public places, a first-in-the-nation policy that a few other cities have copied since it was announced. Meanwhile, New York state announced last week that hospital and nursing home workers would have to get inoculated.

Vaccine mandates for teachers are fairly rare so far in the U.S., though Washington state, for one, says teachers must be inoculated or face dismissal. Vaccinate-or-test requirements are a bit more common.

A new found that about 6 in 10 Americans say students and teachers should be required to wear face masks while in school, and that teachers and eligible students should also be required to get vaccinated. But Democrats and Republicans differ sharply on these issues, the poll found.
