BACK TO SCHOOL                                                                                   7

As Term 3 at DC Public Schools begins, we are proud that:
               Every teacher & staff member working in person was offered a
               vaccine, and approximately 3,100 teachers and staff members have
               already received their first dose

               Symptomatic & asymptomatic testing protocols are in place

               HVAC systems are upgraded & school plans are public at
               dcpsreopenstrong.com/school-plans

The science is clear: with the right protocols and upgrades, schools are safe. And we know the
best place for students to learn is in the classroom.

   If you receive any messages or calls about the private sale of a
                vaccine, report this as an illegal scam.

 The only places you can get a vaccine are through
 hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and doctors’ offices.

There are no one-off sales of vaccines. And when you
   receive a real vaccine, it will always be free.

Report a scam to MPD: (202) 727-4159
