On September 20, 2021, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser issued Mayor's Order 2021-109: COVID-19 Vaccination Requirement for Adults Regularly in Schools or Child Care Facilities and for Student-Athletes (the Order). 1 Among other requirements, the Order mandates that, effective November 1, 2021, all adult employees, contractors, interns, and volunteers working in person in a public charter school and all public charter school students aged 12 or older who practice, compete, or otherwise participate in school-based extracurricular athletics shall have received a full course of a vaccination against COVID-19, unless they have been granted an exemption from such vaccination pursuant to the Order. The purpose of this policy is to outline how the DC Public Charter School Board (DC PCSB) will monitor for and enforce compliance with the Order.
