Vaccine Exemptions in CCSD (CCSD families ONLY please!)
We are asking for transparency in the vaccine exemption process in our schools. The students and staff of CCSD deserve to understand, and be involved in, creating district-wide policies for exemption.
What we ARE asking for:
1. A committee comprised of parents, administrators, lawyers and medical professionals and to be formed to ensure best practices for vetting exemptions district-wide.
2. Schools to inform all families and staff (without identifying individual students) when unvaccinated students are in the school, classroom or bus so necessary precautions can be taken.
What we are NOT asking for:
1. Forcing parents to vaccinate their kids
2. "Outing" unvaccinated children

Why is this important?
It has come to our attention that there are a number of (non-medical) vaccine exemptions in our schools and no standard guidelines for vetting them. Please see the full statement here: http://bit.ly/927vaxx
