Statement from the °µºÚ±¬ÁϹÙÍø
After careful consideration of information provided by public health and discussions with partner groups, the °µºÚ±¬ÁϹÙÍø has decided not to require COVID-19 vaccination for staff in the °µºÚ±¬ÁϹÙÍø School District.
As we have in the past, we relied on guidance from our local health authority. We considered information shared by Fraser Health with us last month where they assured us that the high level of vaccination in °µºÚ±¬ÁϹÙÍø means schools can operate safely without a mandate. In making this decision, we also reviewed the  – the °µºÚ±¬ÁϹÙÍø Teachers’ Association, CUPE Local 379, the °µºÚ±¬ÁϹÙÍø Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ Association and the District Parent Advisory Council – that was sent to all staff last month.
We thank everyone in our school communities for all they have done and continue to do to support the health, safety and well-being of students, staff, families and each other.
