COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate A Go For Decatur Schools Staff, Reports

DECATUR, GA — City Schools of Decatur will require that all teachers and staff be vaccinated for COVID-19 by Oct. 31.

Superintendent Maggie Fehrman on Tuesday night went through with one part of her August promise to consider a vaccine mandate for both staff and students, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s Ty Tagami reported.

Fehrman kept the mandate to just the adults, saying that for the time being the City schools system would forego requiring students to get the shot.

AJC political reporter Greg Bluestein on Tuesday tweeted a terse response from Gov. Brian Kemp, who penned an executive order in May prohibiting such mandates:

“This clearly violates my executive order banning vaccine mandates by public entities.”
