The Los Angeles Unified School District repealed its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for staff after laying off more than 800 teachers and staff members over the past two years.
The district’s school board—which enacted some of the nation’s strictest safety protocols during the pandemic—voted 6–1 to remove the mandate Sept. 26, nearly two years after it was enacted in October 2021.
