MI HR0344

Urges the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to prioritize educators, school administrators, and school employees for COVID-19 vaccination.

Emphasizes that in-person learning is superior to remote learning and that educators face higher exposure risk due to asymptomatic children and insufficient protective equipment.

Notes that nearly one-third of the national educator workforce is over age 55 and another quarter has existing medical conditions that increase risk for serious infection.

Cites support from major education groups including the National Education Association, School Superintendents Association, and American Federation of Teachers for prioritizing school staff vaccination.

Directs that copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Governor and the Director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
