PARENTS PREVENTED FROM ENTERING SCHOOLS
The Palos Verdes Board of Education enforced policies that were in direct conflict with the California Educational Code, (EDC 51101). Parents have a legal right to volunteer in the classroom. However, for a large part of the 2021-22 school year parents who could not provide evidence of having received the COVID-19 vaccination were not permitted to volunteer in their child’s classroom and assist with on campus education. Unvaccinated teachers and staff could provide a negative test, but this alternative was unavailable for parents for nearly the entire school year. Many parents were unable to watch their children play sports or perform in school plays, and volunteer in their children’s classrooms.
