NYC teachers lose pay on Sept. 28 if they don’t get COVID vax, de Blasio warns

No more pencils, no more books, no more unvaccinated school staffers’ dirty looks.

Mayor de Blasio’s education brass is warning public school teachers and other staffers they will be removed from the payroll on Tuesday if they fail to provide proof of getting at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine by Monday’s midnight deadline.

The Department of Education laid down the law in a memo sent to school employees late Thursday — saying disciplinary action against non-vaxxers that could lead to termination will take place if they defy the Sept. 27 vaccine mandate.

“This email is a reminder that all DOE employees must submit proof that they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine no later than Monday, September 27, as required by the DOE’s COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate,” the “Dear Colleagues” email sent by the DOE’s Division of Human Capital to staffers said.

“Any regular employees who fail to meet this deadline will be removed from payroll beginning Tuesday, September 28, unless they are on an approved vaccine exemption or leave,” the hard-ball warning said.

“This means that they will be placed on Leave Without Pay (LWOP). While on this status, employees: Are not allowed to enter their work or school site until they have taken corrective action to comply with the terms of the mandate. Are not able to work and will not receive compensation. Cannot use annual leave, CAR or sick time.”

Staffers have the option of getting a religious or medical exemption, but sources told The Post this week that those accommodations are being given sparingly.

Those without an exemption by Monday must either take a year of unpaid leave or depart the DOE with a severance package.

One veteran teacher who received the email said, “Wow. That’s going for the jugular.”

The unions representing teachers and principals have called on the DOE to push back the deadline for the vaccine edict because of concerns over staffing shortages. As many as 28,000 school employees have yet to get their COVID shots.

Compounding the problem is that the school system could face a security crisis. As few as 40 percent of school safety agents have been vaccinated, claimed Gregory Floyd, head of the Teamsters Local 237 union that represents the officers.

Meanwhile, a state vaccine mandate requires all front-line staffers in hospitals and nursing homes to have received at least one COVID-19 shot by Monday. Gov. Kathy Hochul said she’s exploring hiring foreign workers to replace the anti-vaxxers.

The vaccine mandates are aimed at curbing the spread of the deadly virus.
