The California Supreme Court struck down San Diego Unified School District’s student COVID-19 vaccine mandate this week and affirmed an appeals court ruling that school districts cannot create their own vaccine mandates.
On Wednesday, the state‘s highest court rejected a challenge to the lower court’s November ruling in favor of Let Them Choose, an initiative of the anti-mask mandate group Let Them Breathe.
The group had first sued San Diego Unified in October 2021 over the district’s plans to mandate the original COVID-19 vaccination for students 16 and older to attend school in person and participate in extracurricular activities.
