Operative words
The proposed Resolution would require all Los Angeles Unified School District ('LAUSD' or 'District') and charter school students on co-located LAUSD school facilities who are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, excluding those students with qualified and approved exemptions and conditional admissions, to become vaccinated and provide proof of vaccination pursuant to the timeline outlined below and within the Resolution as a mandatory precondition to accessing LAUSD school facilities.... The COVID-19 pandemic and the national, state, and local orders responding to same have caused considerable challenges for public schools, including but not limited to the closure of all LAUSD school facilities for in-person instruction and resulting in distance learning program implemented by LAUSD through most of the 2020-21 school year. Although LAUSD has returned to in-person instruction for students who choose to return and has implemented high standard of multi-layered safety measures which are effective at mitigating the spread of COVID-19, including COVID-19 testing, masking, ventilation, screening, high quality sanitation measures, and requirement for all employees to be vaccinated, COVID-19 remains a material threat
Enforcement
Mandatory precondition to access to District facilities; exclusion from in-person programs; Board resolution adopted by the governing board
Notes
The report's own background is a district-authored chronology of the closure 'through most of the 2020-21 school year' and of the employee vaccination mandate in force in the third quarter of 2021.
