Parents and teachers opposing a statewide vaccine mandate for California schools are planning a "sit-out" for Monday, Oct. 18. Organizers have encouraged parents to keep their children home from school without seeking excused absences. https://t.co/XSaIoFrrMK

The organization that called for the “Sit out” is Moms on the Ground.
Bill Sardi has some important details:
In California, Monday Oct. 18 is “California Sit Out.” Parents will call their children’s schools to announced an unexcused absence. An ad-hoc group called Moms On The Ground is leading the effort.
State funding per student is $13,9767 per student or $78 per day.
California State figures show that K-12 enrollment fell by 160,000 students, which is a 3-percent dip and the largest drop in enrollment in twenty years.
$13,976 per student per year X 160,000 students = more than $2.2 billion loss of local school revenues from the State.
I wonder how much this sit-out will cost California. And what is typical of LAUSD, California, and government, in general, is that LAUSD, and probably the state, already coerced most of its teachers and administrators to get the vaccine. The LA Times says that 97% of administrators and teachers have been vaccinated. I can't imagine that that vaccine is making teachers or administrators healthier and certainly not more patient and understanding.
