[quote=Anonymous]You could encourage parents at your school to utilize DC's "Test yourself" program and test their kid at home every week. That's what we intend to do. You can even get the test kits ahead of time and then you just drop them off in one of the drop boxes when you do it. It's free and really easy. Is it as good as 100% testing of the entire population? No. But if you can get enough families willing to do it (and provide them with information on how to do it and how easy it is), then you could seriously impact the school's ability to track Covid. We are doing it for our peace of mind, but I also view it as a public service to the school community, so we know we aren't sending an asymptomatic kid to school and so we can report any positive test sooner than we might if we waited for symptoms or for the school to test (assuming we're in the 10% which I still don't know if we will be).[/quote]
