The Peoria Unified School District and Gov. Doug Ducey’s office are at odds over a quarantine policy at the district.
The governor’s office says the district is breaking the law by having a policy that requires quarantines for unvaccinated students who are exposed to COVID-19 but exempting vaccinated students, going as far as calling the policy discriminatory.
However, this quarantine policy is required by Maricopa County Department of Public Health, which states students exposed to COVID-19 must quarantine for 10 days from the date of exposure. A student who has proof of vaccination will not be required to quarantine if they are exposed to someone with COVID-19 on campus, according to MCDPH.
