+1. This would never fly at our charter.

I’ll add that our charter notified all the families last year during hybrid when someone at the school tested positive. They did not name names and said close contacts were notified.

This is...exactly what ITS ended up doing in this scenario?

Yeah, I'm missing the "gotcha" here. ITS has been very forthcoming and proactive when children are at risk of COVID. Your kid isn't at risk of catching COVID at school when school isn't in session.

I'm not loving the communication from the school centering around this article, BUT both in the spring and over the summer session (where they did weekly testing of all students who attended) we were notified of positive cases. My kids classes weren't impacted so I don't know what type of additional communication went out to those families but there was absolutely school-wide transparency when someone tested positive.

It's so amazing to think that my kid is actually in a stimulating, educational environment right now. I'll never take that for granted again, that's for sure. Virtual school was just as mind numbing to my kids as a day of virtual meetings is for me.

Yep. I don't like need-need an update on the COVID positive situation, but I certainly would like one. ITS was pretty transparent in the spring (although I guess you never know how much you aren't being told), so I hope this isn't a change from their prior level of transparency.

PP that’s my main concern as well. Time will tell I suppose.

Seriously. My kids came home happy and excited. Such an about face from virtual learning. A relief.
