LOS ANGELES—Two nonprofit groups representing parents of nearly 1,500 Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) students are asking a judge to nullify the district’s student vaccine mandate, saying such decisions are up to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
“This case presents a clear instance of a local education agency acting far in excess of its lawful jurisdiction and authority under state law,” according to the Los Angeles Superior Court petition brought Oct. 13 by the California Chapter of Children’s Health Defense (CHD-CA) as well as a second group, Protection of the Educational Rights of Kids (PERK).
