There is no vaccine mandate at this time for K-12 students.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI beg that we do our best to set all feelings aside and look at what is best for students,\u201d Gibson said in the letter to parents. \u201cWe know emotions are high, and conversations are intense. We must promote and support school environments that are compassionate and sympathetic. I encourage you to connect with someone in our school community you feel comfortable confiding in to create a safe place to vent and obtain clarification as needed. The mandates are forever changing so understanding current requirements is critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
