“Look, I think it’s important that parents know that their teachers are subjected to regular testing if they are part of a minority of the broader population not being vaccinated.”
“We’re also requiring school boards to disclose the percentage of staff that are vaccinated at a school board level. We’re requiring all school boards for September to publicize transparently, take away the politics of this. Tell me just the straight up goods in the context of what has been improved in my school for my kid.”
Lecce added, “I just believe with the significant upgrades in ventilation. The fact that we’ve enhanced the cleaning. We’ve made the vaccine accessible for students and staff. We’ve brought them into the schools on a voluntary basis. We’re requiring testing of staff who are not vaccinated… this year we’re in a different place. The high vaccine rate. The Chief Medical Officer of Health has a sense…he’s hopeful. We have been cautious. We just want to get these kids in school. Let them learn. Get them back on track ”
