President Joe Biden released details of his new COVID plan that requires all federal staff to be vaccinated, including Head Start teachers and employees. Maintaining the health and safety of staff and students has always been Capital Area Community Service’s priority. CACS believes that vaccinations will ensure the safety of the children, families, and providers we serve, as well as our employees and peers.
All Head Start agencies will be following the guidance given by the Office of Head Start regarding the vaccine mandate.
According to OHS, beginning January 2022, all Head Start teachers and program staff will be vaccinated. CACS will be continuing the conversation internally about how we will implement this requirement.
