While the state issued a “vaccine or weekly testing” directive to public school teachers and staff this week, Los Angeles Unified School District on Friday went a step further by mandating that teachers and other school district staff be fully vaccinated by Oct. 15. Piedmont is requiring vaccination or twice weekly testing for the unvaccinated.
