The San Diego Unified School District decided on May 24 to postpone for a second time its policy requiring students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as opponents press forward with a federal lawsuit against the district.

Paul Jonna, Thomas More Society special counsel and partner at LiMandri and Jonna LLP, hailed the decision to delay the mandate as a victory.
