school year.
8.3 Discuss and Consider Approving the Second and Final Reading of the OSHA Mandate COVID Policy
ACTION
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) published an emergency rule requiring certain employers to require
vaccinations against COVID-19 for their employees. The rule, or emergency temporary standard (ETS) was issued through the
agency’s emergency rulemaking powers and is in 29 C.F.R. 1910.501. This rule requires school districts with 100 or more employees
(including full-time, part-time, and temporary employees like substitutes) to have in place a policy that requires full vaccination against
COVID-19. For employees who do not wish to be vaccinated, the policy must provide for a requirement that employees be subject to
weekly testing and use of face coverings. Medical and religious exemptions must also apply. Policy 209.2 (Adoption of Policy) allows
the policy to be effective immediately but the policy will still go through two readings. If the Supreme Court upholds the OSHA mandate,
this policy will remain in effect or if it goes the other way, the policy can be suspended.
Policy
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the second and final reading and immediate implementation of policy 403.7 –Employee Vaccination/Testing for COVID-19;
403.7R1 – Employee Vaccination/Testing for COVID-19 Regulation; 403.7R2 – Required Notice to Employees; 403.7E1 Employee
Personal Attestation of Vaccination Status; 403.7E2 – Medical Accommodation Request Form; and 403.7E3 – Religious Accommodation
Request Form.
8.4 Discuss and Consider Suspending Policy 403.7 - Employee Vaccination/Testing for COVID 19
ACTION
It is being recommended to consider suspending enforcement of policy 403.7 as the district awaits the United States Supreme Court’s pending
decision on the legality of enforcing this policy. This policy was passed to be prepared if the Supreme Court decision was to enforce. Since we
are back to waiting for a decision, the policy can be suspended now and reactivated if the decision is overturned. Policy 209.4 – Suspension of
Policy allows the Board to suspend a policy.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the suspension of policy 403.7-Employee Vaccination/Testing for COVID 19.
