Bill would nix school COVID vaccine mandate exemption
A state senator Monday turned up the heat in the COVID-19 school vaccine mandate wars with new legislation that nixes personal belief exemptions just as two Bay Area districts are set to require the shots in coming weeks — and as thousands of their students remain unvaccinated.
“The most effective way to keep schools open and safe is to ensure the COVID vaccination rate of students and school staff is as high as possible in addition to masks, testing, and good ventilation to minimize infections,” said Pan, D-Sacramento, a pediatrician and a parent of two school students. “My legislation will give parents great certainty that their child is unlikely to get seriously sick and their school will stay open during COVID.
San Diego school trustee Richard Barrera, who spoke at a news conference Monday with Pan, said his district is appealing the ruling. Families who don’t meet the deadline can opt for the district’s Sojourner Truth Independent Study Program for online learning.
