Would block federal funds to vaccine-mandate school districts

This bill would stop federal funds to a local school district if it requires a COVID-19 vaccine to enroll a student. It would apply to public elementary and secondary schools under that district. The bill uses existing federal definitions for “school” and “district.” If a district keeps such a rule, it could lose federal funds tied to enrollment, which could lead to program cuts. It would not apply to private schools.
