HOUSTON – A national group of education leaders wants school workers to be a higher priority for the COVID-19 vaccine.
Chiefs for Change is calling on federal and state officials to release all doses of the vaccine right away and make all teachers and school staff eligible for vaccination now.
“We see this as critical, not just to schools, but to communities,” said Chiefs for Change CEO Mike Magee.
The move could help students get back to school faster, he said.
“We know that not only do they learn better in their classrooms, millions of students are also safer in their classrooms,” Magee said.
