LOS ANGELES—A group of parents, teachers, and students gathered outside the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) headquarters on April 15, calling on the district to end its staff COVID-19 vaccine mandate and let unvaccinated teachers return to school campuses to help with the worsening teacher shortage.

Dozens of adults and children were holding signs that read “Let Our Teachers Back to Classroom,” “Stop the Segregation,” and “Let My Daddy Work.”
