(FOX 40) – Before students return from winter break, Oakdale Joint Unified School District’s Board of Trustees made the decision that its nine schools would not need to implement a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
All but one board member signed a resolution Dec. 13 saying OJUSD would not deny any students or staff the option to attend in-person instruction, regardless of their vaccination status. The resolution also calls on California officials to make its vaccine requirement a recommendation for students and staff statewide.
In October, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the nation’s first COVID-19 vaccine mandate for public and private school students. School employees have already been under a California Department of Public Health order since October.
