SDCCD made this choice during a Thursday board meeting after a group called ReOpen San Diego rallied against the vaccine mandate at San Diego Miramar College earlier that day.
SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Community College District has decided to roll back disciplinary action against employees who violate its COVID-19 vaccine mandate, electing to provide exemptions and accommodations instead of firing employees.
"In light of the improved public health conditions in San Diego County, the district is reevaluating accommodation options for employees who have been subject to disciplinary action," a statement from SDCCD read. "At this time, the Board of Trustees is not considering any employee terminations related to the COVID-19 vaccination requirement," the statement said."As public health conditions in our region continue to improve, we are excited to see our communities returning to in-person classes and services as we expand access, success, and equity in our wide range of educational programs and support services.
Kirk Webley was one of the employees who lost his job in January. He worked as a counselor in the district for 25 years before he was fired.
