That isn't what the CDC says.

Great, now we have a group of pushy parents lobbying APS to ignore CDC, the actual health experts.

Brings me back to their science! data! yard signs from last year.

It was all so irrational and the opposite of science/data.

I hope they aren’t pushing against screening. Have yet to hear about that…

You mean like schools throughout the US and world (and private and parochial schools here), which were open with minimal problems?

You "closed schools advocates" will never admit you were wrong, even though the history is already being written about it (spoiler alert - the history is that you all in the US were all wrong).

Notice they still have not answered your questions.

APE's official statements are approved by the organization and definitely not officially released via DCUM anonymous post.

But as a member, let me plug again our awesome social events. You'll meet tons of great people with kids who live here in Arlington too.

Great people? We all heard what you said about teachers, the School Board, the Super and other parents not in APE.

Not my idea of great people but you all have fun at your little party!

+1

You want to hang out with the nut jobs who screamed at the SB and other parents?

The people who viciously disparaged teachers?

Sounds like major FOMO for these last 2. These are the type of people who were social lepers pre-pandemic and still don't eat indoors in restaurants.

No kids in APS? That would be our County Board, School Board (waiting on confirmation David Priddy sent his kids to private school this year) and Arlington Dems (if you go to their events, it's a few people in their 20s and a bunch of people 60+) - pretty much all of the political decision makers for APS.

+100, wish more people realized this!

None of the APEs are signing their kids up for screening testing. They are encouraging others not to either, even though the testing will help to keep schools open, which they claimed to want. It's so twisted.

Well neither is bike lady. Is she ape too? And how could ape sign their kids up since according to the DCUM trolls they are all in private.

I’ve only seen posts recommending not enrolling in AEM. The APE facebook page just has info about the testing process.

I’m in APE and have seen many posts/comments from bike lady. She is definitely not on board with the more extreme APEs. I guess it’s possible she left.

This is all sour grapes by last year's "closed school advocates" because of the fact that 80%+ of students are NOT doing the testing. If this was a national presidential election, it would be the largest landslide of all time. Newsflash - parents don't want their kids getting asymptomatically tested.

I'm betting that many of the parents don't want to risk their kids missing anymore school after last year (ES kids missed 168 out of 180 days) because of a false positive or an asymptomatic case. The closed school advocates only have themselves to blame.

APE must be already incredibly powerful if they can get parents of 80%+ of students to do something without even taking a public position on it.

Ha. It's really just inertia. If APS wanted high participation they would have made it an opt-out program instead of an opt-in program.

What is APE's position on asymptomatic testing?

APE tries to rationalize its opposition to screening testing. Nice try.

So very sad that APE opposes screening testing when it will keep schools open and healthier.

When the outbreaks happen and schools are closed, we all know we can blame the APEs. They are also the same ones living their best lives unmasked as if Covid didn't exist.

I’m in APE (not in leadership) and agree with most of their views. I signed up for asymptomatic surveillance rapid antigen testing but withdrew when they switched to pooled PCR testing. My kids needs to be in school and I don’t trust APS to get testing done fast enough. If they switch to rapid and test-to-stay I will reenroll. I’d also enroll if they start accepting other testing vendors. I want to be able to go to same day and get quick results so my kid can go back to school. My neighbor is an athlete and is now on day 3 waiting for APS PCR test result because they had an exposure.
