PRESS RELEASE - December 9, 2021
On Wednesday December 8, 2021, the PERK and CHD-CA Legal Team overcame the first hurdle yesterday when Judge Beckloff issued a tentative ruling yesterday morning to deny the preliminary injunction before the PERK/CHD-CA vs. LAUSD case was heard in court. The first success yesterday occured when the judge heard the arguments from our legal team and reconsidered his ruling. The judge decided to take a few more days to deliberate. It was a “win” that the judge did not rule against us yesterday. However, a final ruling has NOT been issued on the case. The judge wanted more time to reconsider the points heard in court yesterday.
Our Legal Team argued statutory laws, education codes, and health codes. They also argued Federal EUA Law and included vital points on the precedence the judge would set to deny the preliminary injunction. The chaos that would ensue with over 920 school districts in California implementing any policy they wanted is problematic. PERK President Amy Bohn was present in the packed courtroom.
