DENVER â Following Denver Mayor Michael Hancockâs announcement requiring vaccinations for all City and County employees, workers in congregate care settings and school staff, the Denver Classroom Teachers Association says itâs left people âscrambling to try to figure out what to do.â
âIt came as a complete surprise to all of us today,â said Rob Gould with the DCTA, a teachers union representing nearly 4,000 educators.
The public health order includes all teachers and staff who work in the City and County of Denver at both public and private schools. Employees must be vaccinated by Sept. 30.
