The Newport Beach City Council passed a resolution supporting the local school district’s (rather than the state’s) control of implementing mask or vaccine mandates. 

The resolution countering the state’s mask mandate in K–12 schools passed by a vote of 6–1 with Councilwoman Joy Brenner dissenting.
