St. Paul schools exploring vaccine mandate

The St. Paul school board is weighing a proposal to make the district the state's largest to require all staff members to either show proof of a coronavirus vaccine or submit to regular testing.

Board members got their first look at the vaccine mandate Tuesday ahead of an expected vote Friday.

Superintendent Joe Gothard took a firm stand behind a mandate Tuesday, citing the rise in respiratory illnesses that can occur in the fall.
