A West Tisbury employee will be leaving her position with the town because of her “personal decision” not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Asked by phone why they spoke about the employee openly, West Tisbury town administrator Jennifer Rand said this “wasn’t inappropriate” since it was an employee breaking town policy rather than a discussion about a medical issue. West Tisbury strengthened the policy to a town hall mandate for workers in the building later in the month. In early September, West Tisbury added several more buildings to this mandate, including Howes House. In other business, the board unanimously approved adding the select board report to the West Tisbury town report.
