LANSING, MI — The Lansing School District Board of Education has approved a resolution that adds mandatory coronavirus vaccinations for all faculty and staff into back-to-school health protocols.
The district had previously announced it would require all students in all grade levels, teachers, and staff to wear masks and socially distance this fall, along with several other safe health protocols determined by the administration when school is scheduled to start in Lansing on Monday, August 30, 2021.
According to the board’s resolution last night: “Due to the overwhelming body of evidence that vaccines are highly safe and extremely effective in preventing hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19, and due to the Board of Education‘s strong desire for our students to be able to benefit from in-person learning safely for the entire school year, therefore be it resolved:
“Every faculty and staff member in the Lansing School District will be required to receive a complete course of one of the three Covid-19 vaccines currently being administered in the United States and to submit proof of vaccination to HR by September 30, 2021.”
