The resolution is expected to pass with broad support.

“Fully approved” is key. Asked whether schools should require “proof of COVID-19 vaccination from students” — with no mention of full approval — support falls to 49 percent while opposition rises to 37 percent. Either way, student vaccine mandates — like nearly everything else about U.S. public schools — will be a local matter, with vastly different policies emerging in different areas. Across greater L.A., several other school systems are also exploring the option of a student mandate, including Baldwin Park Unified, Santa Monica-Malibu Unified and Beverly Hills Unified; further north, the Oakland Board of Education reportedly discussed the issue Wednesday.
But schools in, say, Texas or Florida — states that have banned local businesses from requiring proof of vaccination and prohibited local districts from mandating masks — are unlikely ever to follow suit.
