Major Victory for Students and Families as LAUSD Pushes Back Vaccination Deadline 

In a decision that will set the stage for how school districts around the country proceed with mandates, Los Angeles Unified School District voted this afternoon to wait until Fall 2022 to require students 12 and up to receive COVID-19 vaccines.

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION UPDATE

This morning Judge Beckloff, potentially in relation to the impending vote by LAUSD, issued his ruling in favor of LAUSD by denying the injunction.

LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST LAUSD REMAINS IN PLACE

While the deadline extension represents a victory for the families of the 34,000 LAUSD students who may now stay in school until Fall of 2022, the lawsuit filed by FLTJ, CHD-CA and PERK against LAUSD will proceed as other aspects of LAUSD’s current policy remain contested. Unvaccinated students will still be prohibited from participating in extracurricular activities, such as science clubs, drill and athletics. They will also continue to have COVID testing requirements and mask mandates.
