Nearly 90% of Washington public school employees got the jab
OLYMPIA — Roughly 90% of public school employees in Washington are fully vaccinated, and only a couple hundred lost their jobs because they are not.
Among teachers and classroom aides, compliance with the state’s vaccine mandate was 90.4%, according to statewide data released Thursday by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction.
Rates are slightly lower for classified employees, bus drivers, custodians and others working outside classrooms. Overall, 89.4% of 156,222 workers covered in the analysis had gotten the jab by the Oct. 18 deadline.
Just about everyone else — 10.3% — got an exemption and a path to continue working. Only 470 people resigned, retired or were terminated statewide for not complying with the directive.
