To ensure classes are in-person and not online, Los Angeles schools are requiring vaccinations for eligible students
CNN
The Los Angeles Unified School District, the second-largest in the nation, wants to guarantee that children attend classes in person, not online -- which is why it voted to require vaccinations against Covid-19 for all eligible students.
"Everything that we have looked at says that we can do this," LAUSD Interim Superintendent Megan Reilly told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "Our goal is to protect children and our goal is to have children in school and not online." The board voted unanimously in a special meeting Thursday to mandate vaccinations. Children who participate in sports and extracurricular activities should do so "in the October timeframe," while the rest of the students should receive their first and second doses no later than the month of November and December, she said.More Related News
