(CALIFORNIA GLOBE) – The Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) fired 496 employees for not complying with the District vaccine mandate on Tuesday. And 600 more are on the chopping block.
The LAUSD COVID-19 vaccination mandate was first announced in the late summer, following the statewide school worker mandate announced by Governor Gavin Newsom in August. The LAUSD board set up an October 19th date for employees their first dose by, with a second dose date by November 15th to allow for two shot vaccinations. Those who did not comply could then be fired afterwards.
On the first dose-deadline in October, the LAUSD announced that 97% of it’s 73,000 employees were vaccinated, leaving around 2,200 unvaccinated who had not received a medical or religious exemption. Many of them were placed on leave that month for not getting at least one dose. By Tuesday, when the first terminations began to be issues, the District reported that nearly 99% of LAUSD employees had been vaccinated.
