SEATTLE — Seattle Public Schools is warning thousands of students that they will be excluded from school after Christmas break unless they get in compliance with Washington’s vaccine laws.
The school district posted a notice online on Dec. 20 that stated, “Student records must reflect updated immunization status by January 8, 2020, or students cannot attend school until the required information is provided to the school nurse.”
An estimated 2,000 students are not in compliance with the vaccine laws. Families of these students were notified via email, postal mail and a letter sent home from the school.
