More Than 5,500 NYC Teachers Fired Under COVID Vaccine Mandate, Attorney Says
Newly obtained New York City Department of Education (DOE) figures conflict with data officials originally released. Meanwhile, former teachers continue fighting for reinstatement, back pay and benefits. "I am sick to my stomach that they [the DOE] did this to the working men and women of NYC," said attorney Jimmy Wagner.
More than 5,500 New York City public school teachers were fired in 2022 and 2023 under COVID-19 vaccine mandates, according to newly uncovered documents from the New York City Department of Education (DOE).
The records, first obtained by attorney Jimmy Wagner through Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests and reviewed by The Defender, show 5,399 teachers were terminated in 2022 and another 112 in 2023, bringing the total to 5,511.
The figures represent a significant departure from February 2022 reports that 1,430 municipal employees, including 914 DOE workers, were fired for failing to comply with vaccination requirements.
