In November there was a case of Whooping Couch in my school district. Now about a month later there are 5 cases and 1 is a teacher. The original case was from a child who did not receive the required vaccines to enter school.
If it is required to vaccinate to enter school (religious resons exempt) then how did the child get enrolled in school?

because the parents probably filled out a religious reason(idk what its called)form and are actually religious, OR they lied and just didnt want to vaccinate their kid and filled out the religious reason form
Don't you answer your own question in your post?
They probably either had a medical or religious exemption.
Why does everyone know these parents and child's business in the first place? If they signed an exemption waiver, no one should know that but the school.
I probably should have clarified...I know that there is religious exemption if you show proof that you have been an active member of the religious organization and it's ideals. I was told from my school nurse that NY does not allow medical exemptions. I am just trying to figure out how the child got in school.

This particular parent of the first case is very active in the community and has stated publicly that she does not vax. I inquired with her a few times how she enrolled her child in school and she never gave a real answer.

The parent of the first case publicly have said they do not vax. I do not know about the other kids. The teacher was told that her vaccination had most likely worn off. She was not required to get an adult booster at any point.
Quoting Lurion:
Just curious--if the other four were vaccinated, why weren't their vaccines effective?
Do you know for sure that #1 wasn't vaccinated or could that be conjecture/rumor?

Religious exemption may as well be philosophical exemption. No school can force a parent to vaccinate.
Ok so basically you have:
- One non-vaccinated child who caught it from somewhere--could have been from a vaccinated child in her gymastics class?
- 4 vaccinated children who caught it from somewhere--could have been the non-vaccinated child who is taking the blame for the entire outbreak, or could have been a vaccinated child from their gymnastics class?
Do I understand this right?
