NJ teachers seek vaccines as under 100 schools remain all remote
More counties have pulled together resources for vaccinating educators against COVID-19, as a growing number of New Jersey politicians have taken up the call for a more expansive return to classrooms.
U.S. Reps. Tom Malinowski and Josh Gottheimer have jointly urged for more state vaccination resources to be earmarked specifically for teachers, as a number of the state’s largest districts have remained fully remote for instruction for more than a year now.
“Going virtual was the right thing to do when the virus struck us, to save the lives of school staff, parents and students alike. Our teachers did all they could to make it work; our kids have been resilient. But the toll on children after one year away from physical school on their emotional and mental health and their educational progress has been great, and grows each day,” the congressmen wrote in a guest column for The Star Ledger on Monday.
