On behalf of the Board of Trustees, on February 16, 2021, Board Chair Lynn Scott wrote a letter to Health Minister Christine Elliott and Education Minister Stephen Lecce requesting the prioritization of education workers as part of the Ontario vaccination strategy.
The letter states: “On behalf of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board, I am writing to ask that you recognize the immediate need for Ontario to prioritize vaccinations for education workers. We want our schools to be open, but we need to do everything we can to ensure our staff is safe, particularly those engaged in in-person work in schools, and especially supporting our most vulnerable high-needs students.”
