[quote=Anonymous]So if a kid in your kid's class or teacher comes down positive, what does the school do?  Just tell everyone else in the class?  Shut down the class?  Shut down the school?  For how long?
This is bound to happen by week 2. 
What about a kids' parents?  What happens if they are sick and their kids were exposed to them for weeks?
What happens to those kids?  Do they stay home from school?  For how long?  Do their classmates stay home?

How wide do you make the circle?  Just kids in that kid's class and maybe their siblings' classes?  I can see this working in elementary (only 25 kids in a class). 
But my middle schooler easily has 125 kids in his own classes each day at Deal (between all members of the team plus language and math).

If he comes down positive (or we do) do you keep all 125 kids that were exposed to him home?  For how long?  What if one of the team teachers comes down positive?  Do you keep home all the kids on the team?

Anyone have any thoughts?

Basically my questions is---Will a school keep home select classes of kids but allow others to attend?
