COVID Vaccine Mandate Expires October 31, 2022
As you may be aware, Governor Inslee has announced that the “... [COVID] vaccination requirements for health care and education workers will end …” October 31, 2022. Beginning November 1, COVID vaccination, exemption, or accommodation will no longer be required for applicants, volunteers, and employees.
“The statewide Face Covering Order issued by the state Department of Health will remain in place for health care settings," which includes school health rooms.
We still follow the K-12 requirements for managing Covid symptoms and isolation requirements in schools and we will continue to provide face coverings for staff, students, and visitors who choose to wear them. COVID tests will also be available, while supplies last, at each site for those who wish to test.
As we continue to navigate the impacts of COVID and other health concerns, we greatly appreciate your ongoing work to put our promise in action, making sure every student is known, valued, and supported.
