CASE IS COMPLETED AND WE WON CHILDREN’S HEALTH DEFENSE, CALIFORNIA CHAPTER (Now FNF) / PROTECTION OF THE EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS OF KIDS (P.E.R.K) Piedmont Unified School District (PUSD) issued its own illegal school district vaccine mandate on September 22, 2021, a month after it admitted on the record that it actually had no legal authority to mandate any new vaccines. Our legal team filed suit against PUSD on November 18th, 2021. On January 11, 2022, Judge Seligman of the Superior Court for Alameda County granted our request for an Application for Alternative Writ, preliminarily agreeing that a local school district like PUSD has no legal authority to mandate a new COVID-19 vaccine. The Judge then stayed enforcement of the mandate, and granted an expedited hearing on the merits. Following this ruling in our favor, PUSD agreed to dismiss its unlawful local mandate. The parties have now entered into a confidential settlement agreement.
