LOS ANGELES—All eligible students aged 12 and over in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) would be required to get vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend in-person classes under a proposal going before the district’s Board of Education on Sept. 9.

The board has called a special meeting for 2 p.m. Thursday to consider the mandate. According to the agenda, the proposal would require “COVID-19 vaccinations for all students who access in-person instructional programs operated on district facilities, who are 12 years of age and older.”
