An appeals court agreed that only the state can create vaccine requirements for school attendance, not school districts
from last December that school districts cannot impose their own vaccine requirements on students and that only the state can require a vaccine for school attendance.
The appeals court rejected San Diego Unified’s several defenses of its student vaccine mandate, including that the mandate is in line with the district’s responsibility to keep students safe and healthy, that school districts can create programs to “meet local needs” and that the district’s vaccine mandate is not actually a mandate because it allows students to do at-home independent study if they don’t want to get vaccinated.
The mandate would have immediately required students 16 and up to get the COVID-19 vaccine in order to attend school in person and participate in extracurricular activities. Students were allowed exemptions for medical reasons but not based on personal beliefs.
