California Immunization Requirements
After the passage of Senate Bill 276, in January 2020 new immunization rules were implemented at Mountain Oaks School. Mountain Oaks has always been understanding and supportive of parental rights, however, we are required to comply with the law. We informed all of our families when SB276 came into effect. In addition, we share the immunization requirements with all students upon enrollment.
Our school and county nurse in the 25/26 school year will be auditing all workshops, classes, outings, and school events for student immunization status before approving enrollment/attendance at the event.
The audit will clarify all students who participate in on-campus and/or group activities (workshops, field trips, etc.) have one of the following immunization status updates:
- On Schedule with Immunizations
-
Students with IEP's will continue to participate in those activities and workshops that are part of their assigned services. This includes lunch.
-
A state medical exemption will allow you to continue to participate in school group activities. The information for how to apply for a medical exemption can be found on the state website: https://cair-me.cdph.ca.gov/home.
Students who do not meet one of the criteria above will not be able to participate in on campus group activities (workshops, field trips, events, etc.)
They will still be able to enroll at Mountain Oaks as an Independent Study student only.
Independent Study only students can meet with their mentor, resource specialist, etc. on campus in a 1-1 setting.
If you have any questions about your immunization status at our school, please feel free to call Mountain Oaks Administrative Services Coordinator; Samantha at 754-0532, ext. 2258.
