COVID-19 update: Governor, affirming desire to keep students in school, says vaccine exemptions remain an option |
|
When Gov. Gavin Newsom announced his plans for a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students, it was widely noted that personal belief exemptions would be allowed as long as the regulation is outside of the legislative process. This week, during an appearance on a national morning news show, Newsom affirmed the state’s desire to keep students in school and said exemptions remain an option for families who choose not to vaccinate their children once the mandate takes effect. |

Surprise! Bikes for everyone at some 3rd grade classes in Tustin |
|
Third-graders at two Tustin elementary schools walked into special assemblies Friday expecting to hear who among them had won a brand new bicycle. All had written essays about their dreams. But only three winning essays would be selected at each school — or so they thought. Turned out all the third-graders at Beswick and Heideman elementaries in the Tustin Unified School District got a new bicycle and helmet on Friday – compliments of the Dirtbag Mountain Biking Club in Aliso Viejo, which coordinated with a San Diego non-profit called “Bikes for Kids.” |

Injunction request filed to U.S. Supreme Court in SDUSD vax mandate case |
|
Attorneys for a Scripps Ranch High School student who sued to challenge the San Diego Unified School District's COVID-19 vaccine mandate filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court Friday. Following rulings from a San Diego federal judge and the U.S. Ninth Circuit of Appeals which upheld the district's mandate, attorneys for the student identified as Jill Doe in court documents are looking to the Supreme Court to block enforcement of the policy. |
