Director (DC here)- we don't send the child to another class, the vaccinated teachers continue working with those children who were not exposed because they weren't there or have had covid in the past 90 days. So we no longer close entire classrooms UNLESS the teachers have Covid/covid symptoms/are awaiting test results.

How are teachers able to test out of quarantine but not children? I thought the reason behind quarantine was that COVID can take several days to show up on a test so you can test negative on day 2 but test positive on day 5. If exposed teachers are back on day 4, doesn’t that defeat the purpose? If the teacher is back, why can’t all children come back under this scenario.

They aren't testing out of quarantine. If they are exposed but vaccinated, some may choose to be tested (I think the rec is day 5). They are not allowed to work while awaiting results. The children are not vaccinated, hence the difference.
