Federal judges: NYC can impose vaccine mandate on teachers
Source: MSN/AP
NEW YORK (AP) — The nation's largest school district can immediately impose a vaccine mandate on its teachers and other workers, after all, a federal appeals panel decided Monday.
The three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued a brief order late in the day that lifted a block of the mandate that a single appeals judge had put in place on Friday.
After an adverse ruling from a Brooklyn judge, a group of teachers had brought the case to the appeals court, which assigned a three-judge panel to hear oral arguments Wednesday. But the appeals panel issued its order Monday after written arguments were submitted by both sides.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced in August that about 148,000 school employees would have to get at least a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccination by Sept. 27. The policy covers teachers, along with other staffers, such as custodians and cafeteria workers. As of Friday, 82% of department employees have been vaccinated, including 88% of teachers.

The 3-Judge panel was originally scheduled to meet Wednesday but acted after receipt of all the written submissions and lifted the stay this evening. The mandate was expected to have gone into effect today and is now in effect with this ruling.

Roe v. Wade was similarly clear. But here we are.
