在整个大流行期间，CBE（卡尔加里教育委员会）一直致力于保护学生、雇员和更广泛社区的健康与安全，同时优先考虑面对面的学习。我们希望最大限度地减少学校的中断，并使所有学生有机会充分参与学习。

经委员会的支持，CBE决定要求所有雇员、志愿者和CBE合作伙伴在2021年12月17日之前完成全面接种新冠疫苗。CBE的疫苗接种要求适用于所有合同服务提供商、CBE建筑物内的租户以及所有志愿者。

将会有一个过渡期，给予个人时间声明其疫苗接种状态并遵守该要求。疫苗状态声明的日期将在确保收集和管理此信息所需的流程就位后确定。

更多信息即将公布，包括疫苗状态声明日期的细节、员工快速检测的短期过程以及人权法例下的豁免具体细则。

尽管我们也鼓励具备条件的学生接种疫苗，但这并非CBE的要求。

卫生部门指出，接种疫苗是减少新冠病毒传播最有效的方法之一。CBE委员会在2021年9月17日致教育部长的一封信中为在我们的学校中因新冠病毒引发的分歧和家长的关切而倡导了教育部门员工的省级疫苗强制要求。

此外，该省已发布新的健康指南和更新的阿尔伯塔省卫生每日清单。如果您家中有阳性的COVID病例且您的孩子未完成全面免疫，这将包括新的指示。

请参考阿尔伯塔卫生服务网站以确定何时需要进行测试。

在保护我们学校社区的健康与安全，保持学习连贯性方面，感谢您一直的勤勉。

此致敬礼，

Throughout the pandemic, the CBE has acted to protect the health and safety of students, employees and the wider community while prioritizing in-person learning. We want to minimize disruptions in schools and give all students the opportunity to participate fully in their learning.

With support from the Board of Trustees, the CBE has therefore made the decision to require that all employees, volunteers and CBE partners be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Dec. 17, 2021. The CBE’s vaccination requirement applies to all contracted service providers, tenants in CBE buildings and all volunteers.

There will be a transition period to give individuals time to declare their vaccine status and to comply with the requirement. Dates for vaccine status declaration will be determined once the necessary processes are in place to collect and manage this information.

Additional information is forthcoming, including details on vaccine status declaration dates, the short-term process for rapid testing for staff and specifics on exemptions under human rights legislation.

While we also encourage eligible students to be vaccinated, it is not a CBE requirement.

Health authorities state that vaccination is one of the most effective ways of reducing COVID-19 transmission. The CBE Board of Trustees advocated for a provincial vaccine mandate for education sector staff in a Sept. 17 letter to the Minister of Education in response to division and parent concerns over COVID-19 in our schools.

Additionally, the province has released new health guidelines and updated the Alberta Health Daily Checklist. This includes new direction if there is a positive COVID case in your household and your child is not fully immunized.

Please refer to the Alberta Health Services website to determine when testing is required.

Thank you for the ongoing diligence as we work to protect the health and safety of our school communities and preserve the continuity of learning for all students.

Sincerely,

Christopher Usih
Chief Superintendent of Schools
