It bugs me that people are pushing for schools to open without also pushing for better ventilation. Because the study assumes good ventilation.

Lots of schools have invested in ventilation systems, specialized fans, etc.

Coronavirus screening tests? I’ve never been against that.

DCPS is opening on Monday, and parents are allowed to opt out of covid screening tests.

FCPS has already tested all their ventilation and it meets the minimums. But they are further upgrading and adding individual filters where necessary. So in FCPS, at least, ventilation should no longer be an issue. People who think it is haven't been paying attention - there have been extensive documents about this on BoardDocs since early fall.
