The letter sent to Governor Newsome stated, \u201cWe have been very successful in keeping our schools open with the current mask and testing protocols, however, this directive (vaccine mandate) will put the districts in Calaveras County in jeopardy.\u201d Further explanation was provided, \u201cInitial analysis indicates we could lose 50% or more of our students from in-person instruction and\/or enrollment in our schools as well as a potential loss of staff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Calaveras County Superintendents ended the letter with this request:\u00a0\u201cThe Superintendents of Calaveras County Schools ask that the State of California maintains the medical, religious, and personal exemptions with regard to the COVID-19 vaccine requirement.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the response that was received from the California Department of Public Health (CDHP) on Dec. 23, 2021 this request has been heard. Quoting the letter: \u201cPursuant to Health and Safety Code section 120338, such a requirement would include exemptions \u2018for both medical reasons and personal beliefs.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

This is great news for the students, staff and families of Calaveras County. I wanted to share this response with the community as we move forward and resume some version of normalcy in our schools and our homes.<\/p>\n

Even though the letter stated, \u201cGovernor Gavin Newsom has directed the CDHP to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of vaccinations already required for in-person attendance-such as measles, mumps, and rubella-pursuant to the Health and Safety Code sections 120325-120380,\u201d there will still be an option for families to file for an exemption according the letter.<\/p>\n
