and delay implementation of its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for eligible students until at least July 1, 2023."The ability of our system to pivot shows that we are a science-based school district and the health and safety protocols we adopt are influenced by the expert advice of our medical partners and public health officials," Carvalho said in a statement. "We know that students do best when learning in the classroom with their peers.
The district reported in December, when implementation of the vaccine mandate for students was delayed until at least next fall, that the vaccination rate among eligible students aged 12 and over was nearly 90%. The rate among employees is even higher. District officials said they plan to continue providing information about vaccinations and making the shots available to students.
The LAUSD Board of Education is scheduled to discuss the recommendation to delay the mandate at its meeting on May 10."We have high vaccination rates amongst our students 12 years and older and with our employees," LAUSD Medical Director Dr. Smita Malhotra said in a statement. "We have demonstrated low transmission rates in our schools with few outbreaks.
