Dear Dr. Shah:
Under FOIA, please answer:
- 1) When will the vaccination Certificate of Exemption be available?
- 2) If the certificate is delayed, can parents/guardians use their previous vaccination objection statement?
- 3) Who is the local school authority stated in PA 099-0249?
- 4) What criteria does IDPH provide to the school authority determining the validity of parents’/guardians’ personal religious belief objection?
- 5) Is a child, with a valid objection, in compliance for state funding?
Thank you.
For our children’s sake,
Barbara A. Mullarkey, president
