Lawrence school board: Give vaccine priority to educators
Lawrence Township School Board
Lawrence Township school district officials are calling on Gov. Phil Murphy to give “appropriate priority” to educators and support staff in the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Lawrence Township Public Schools Board of Education adopted a resolution at its Jan. 27 meeting that requests the governor to include teachers and support staff in the vaccine allotment panel’s definition of “frontline workers.”
The state’s COVID-19 vaccination plan has given top priority to healthcare workers, residents in long-term care facilities and correctional facilities, police officers, firefighters and other emergency responders.
