Daughter is supposed to travel for family event but we were just informed that she will not be offered virtual learning but must follow school policy of quarantining for 10 days due to being unvaccinated. They will be considered unexcused absences. I know there have been legal posts, any help will be appreciated

Yes. You need to look at the school district’s absence, leave, and distance learning policies, and use them against the school if needed. I would even go above the school, to meet with their assistant or head superintendent to get the absences or distance learning cleared.
This is what I would do.
“If a (district) is required to exclude a student, group of students, a class, while the school itself remains open for in person instruction, the district should be prepared to offer virtual or remote instruction...” Their argument is that she is “choosing” to travel. It means isolating her from our family, no college visits, etc.
Find where it directly states that in their policy. I would also look at travel, sick, absences, leave period, heck you can even lie and say she tested positive for Covid. Have someone take a test. Rub it on a dirty toilet. I bet you can create a false positive some way. Because if she is positive they’d have to excuse it anyway haha!
