“I'm a witch woman--high on tobacco and holy water. I'm a woman delighted with her disasters. They give me something to do. A profession of sorts...I have the magic of words. The power to charm and kill at will.”

1.      The District is not currently accepting any non-student vaccine exemptions for religious or medical reasons, so visitors to the campus must abide by the current policies.

2.      The Board Policy on the Vaccine mandate requires that individuals have received the full primary dose of the vaccine; for Pfizer or Moderna, that is two shots, and for J&J, that is a single dose. A single dose of the Pfizer or Moderna does not qualify as completing the full primary dose. Booster doses are not required by the District
