| Are DCPS or any charters that are open doing asymptomatic testing regularly? |

| Yes. All DCPS schools should be testing roughly every 10 days. Ours is. |

| Word on Twitter is Lafayette has yet to test any students. I know my WOTP school also hasn’t tested any students yet. |

That's because testing was planned at Lafayette for 2/18, which ended u being a snow day. It's not like the school refused to do it. |

| I don't think my kid at Murch has been tested, but the testing might have been planned for one of the snow days. |

| At our charter there won't be any asymptomatic, only in case of symptoms. |

| You had to opt in to the asymptomatic testing, so we'll see how many kids are actually getting the test. Janney's scheduled first round of testing was a two-hour delay, so any kids who are only in morning classes didn't go (and thus, didn't get tested). |

| Yu Ying is testing all students and staff once a week. |

Do you have a Twitter link for the Lafayette absence of testing? Could you share which is your WOTP school? |

Oy. Lord people are quick to lose their minds around here. |

| Our school told us about this in the meetings leading up to the first day back but nothing since then. We were supposed to be sent a permission form but nothing has come home and I assume they haven't tested the kids since they've been back. I'm pretty disappointed. |

Wow. Thank you. It's good to know how incomplete (euphemism) that data is for the time an epidemiologist dad decides to base an entire Vox article on the DCPS 'data' and his feelings. |

| Not totally sure this is a terrible problem for the whole system, anyway -- teachers and in-person staff, having been vaccinated, should be protected. So the risk is only to families of other in-person kids, who presumably were willing to take on some additional risk. |

| I think it’s more about DCPS saying they were going to do something, doing it for a week then not doing it anymore. |
