If approved, students would need to provide proof of vaccination before Oct. 15.

The board says this change would help prevent outbreaks that could trigger classroom closures.

Last week, Culver City Unified School district announced a similar mandate, requiring COVID vaccine for all eligible students and staff -- a mandate that is believed to be the first of its kind in California.
