But the appeals panel issued its order Monday after written arguments were submitted by both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A lawyer who brought the lawsuit for the teachers and other people pushing back against the mandate said he and another attorney would be taking the issue to the Supreme Court.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAs of this moment the mandate is in place,\u201d attorney Mark Fonte said, noting that he and fellow lawyer Louis Gelormino were \u201cdismayed and disappointed by this turn of events.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Fonte added, \u201cWith thousands of teachers not vaccinated the City may regret what it wished for. Our children will be left with no teachers and no security in schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In August, Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.nyc.gov\/office-of-the-mayor\/news\/578-21\/mayor-de-blasio-chancellor-porter-commissioner-chokshi-department-education\"><span class=\"s1\">officials<\/span><\/a> \u201cannounced a new health care mandate requiring all New York City Department of Education [(DOE)] employees to provide proof of&nbsp;first dose of&nbsp;vaccination by&nbsp;September&nbsp;27th.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cKeeping our students and staff healthy is our top priority,\u201d said de Blasio at the time. \u201cTo keep our schools healthy and safe, we are now requiring all Department of Education staff to have at least one dose of the vaccine by September 27. Together, we will create a safe and welcoming school experience for our kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The vaccine mandate is now set for next week, with the deadline for employees to be vaccinated going into effect at the end of the day on Friday.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A DOE spokesperson reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/vaccine-mandate-nyc-teachers-new-york-public-schools\/11051781\/\"><span class=\"s1\">said,<\/span><\/a> \u201cVaccinations are our strongest tool in the fight against COVID-19 \u2013 this ruling is on the right side of the law and will protect our students and staff.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The person added, \u201cThe mandate will go into effect on Friday end of day so that by Monday, October 4, 100% of educators and staff in our buildings will be vaccinated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Many around the city and country are looking at the mandate to see what other local governments might implement in their own jurisdictions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Some union leaders have called on de Blasio to hold off on enforcing the order, citing potential staffing issues as unvaccinated staff are no longer able to work.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The mayor, however, has pushed back against waiting to implement the mandate and has said that he is sure they will have the necessary supply of staff.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/09\/27\/nyregion\/new-york-city-schools-vaccine-mandate.html\"><span class=\"s1\">reported<\/span><\/a> by The New York Times:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"11\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Mr. de Blasio said Monday that roughly 97 percent of principals and about 95 percent of teachers had been vaccinated, according to estimates from the city and unions representing teachers and principals, and that 87 percent of non-teaching school staff had received at least one shot. Roughly 8,000 Department of Education employees received a vaccination dose over the weekend in anticipation of the deadline.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
