Well, we must not be taking the right precautions because even with the small number of students we currently have in the buildings, the schools keep sending out covid notifications.

sending out a covid notification that there has been the case in the building does not indicate a lack of precaution- it simply indicates that covid is circulating in the community.
Sending out a covid notification of an outbreak in a school would indicate a lack of precautions.

Don't metrics of community spread - cases and % positivity, have something to do with safe openings as well?

If you go outside with an umbrella and don't get wet during a rain shower, it doesn't mean the same approach will work in a hurricane.

When teachers are catching it from students (which is what is happening in the cohorts right now) it’s a problem.

lies and fearmongering. VDH reports outbreaks in schools by school names. An outbreak is defined as 2 or more cases traced to the same place. The ONLY Outbreak in a public school in NOVA was Woodson. 5 cases total, and already documented that it was between teachers.

I get that you don't want to go back to work- but you can't make up facts.

They just don't report on cases in the media in Georgia and discourage people from talking. Problem solved

You really think the general public gets information in real time? My whole class is quarantined. I wish I could go back to work, but apparently 4 weeks in the building may have been the limit.

Look here for fcps data. The woodson outbreak did involve a student.

If true I am very interested in hearing what the atmosphere (for lack of a better word at the moment) was at Woodson that led to the outbreak. I guess I'm wondering what behaviors, if any, led to it. I doubt if any Woodson staff will read this and be willing to share.

Wrong. The number of school cases per 100,000 is way too high for it to just be a result of community spread, considering so few are in the buildings right now.
