The location of the event is in New York City and there were no vaccination mandates at the time the event was scheduled. In August of 2021, the New York City launched a vaccine mandate that was to start in September. It is outlined below.
People 12 and older are required to show identification and proof they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine for:
• Indoor dining
o Includes restaurants, catering halls, hotel banquet rooms, cafeterias, coffee shops, fast food restaurants, grocery stores with indoor dining and other indoor dining spaces
• Indoor fitness
o Includes gyms, fitness centers, fitness classes, pools, dance studios and other indoor fitness studios, such as yoga or Pilates
• Indoor entertainment and certain meeting spaces
o Includes movie theaters, music and concert venues, museums, aquariums and zoos, professional sports arenas, indoor stadiums, convention centers, exhibition halls, hotel meeting and event spaces, performing arts theaters, bowling alleys, arcades, pool and billiard halls, and recreational game centers. Given New York’s current laws, anyone attending the trip will be required to get at least one dose before March 1. This is NOT a Broken Arrow Public Schools requirement. It is solely mandated by New York City. Students need it to perform, go to restaurants, visit museum, etc. If the mandate is lifted between now and March, NO vaccine will be required. This trip is totally voluntary. If a student does not get vaccinated, they will still attend class and there will not be any grade consequence.
