Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee (D) announced new COVID-19 mitigation measures on Wednesday, including a vaccination requirement for all teachers and school staff and a statewide mask mandate for all individuals, even those who are fully inoculated.
All employees working in K-12 schools — including teachers, school staff, bus drivers, volunteers and others working in education facilities — must be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 18 “as a condition of employment,” according to a statement from Inslee.
The policy includes public, private and charter schools.
Inslee also announced a vaccine requirement for most childcare and early learning providers who work with children from multiple households.
He noted, however, that FFN care, which refers to supervision from family, friends and neighbors, is not included in the new mandate.
