But now they're just going to probably end up backing down and allowing unvaccinated people to work with no extra protective measures.

I think the school board my wife works at has come up with a reasonable plan. If you are not vaccinated you need to be tested twice/week at each worksite (so if you work mornings at one school and afternoons at another you have to be tested at both). The testing is done at least half an hour before your shift starts and in front of your supervisor. So at least if you are not vaccinated you have the additional inconvenience of coming in early twice/week. Maybe not so good for the supervisors if they have to come in early too.
At my work if they have an approved medical or religious accommodation the employee pays 25% of the testing cost, or 75% if they don't.
