Update on TDSB’s COVID-19 Vaccination Procedure for Employees, Trustees and Other Individuals
The TDSB continues to implement the COVID-19 Vaccination Procedure for Staff, Trustees and Other Individuals (PR734) to support the health and safety of staff and students in our schools and workplaces. To date, more than 88.5% of our 40,000 staff members are compliant with the procedure.
To ensure that we can continue to support service levels to staff, students and our community, the TDSB will be gradually implementing compliance measures for employees over the next three weeks, starting on Tuesday, November 2, 2021.
- Any staff who have not disclosed their vaccination status by November 1, 2021 will be placed on a non-disciplinary administrative leave of absence without pay effective November 2. - Staff who have disclosed that they are not vaccinated have until November 21, 2021 to comply with the procedure. Until then, they will continue to complete the Rapid Antigen Test twice weekly and verify its results as part of their daily health screening. - Staff who by November 19 have received one dose of a two-dose vaccine will have another month to complete their second dose. - Staff who have received no vaccination by November 21 will be placed on a non-disciplinary administrative leave of absence without pay. - Staff who have applied for a medical or creed-based accommodation will continue to complete the Rapid Antigen Test twice weekly while pending the decision on their request. If their request is denied, they have 45 days to comply with the procedure or be placed on a non-disciplinary administrative leave of absence without pay. All staff returning to the TDSB after leaves will be expected to comply with the procedure. For more information, please read the full update that was provided to parents/guardians on Wednesday, Oct. 27.
