Sacramento City Unified approves early COVID-19 vaccine mandate for students, staff

The Sacramento City Unified School District Board on Tuesday approved a requirement deadline for students and staff to receive the COVID-19 vaccine far in advance of a state-imposed one Gov. Gavin Newsom is hoping for in mid-2022. Following the school board's vote made around 10 p.m., students ages 12 and older will need to show proof of at least one vaccine dose by the start of the second semester, while teachers will need to show proof by Nov. 30.
