[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Officially, they only contact you if the kid was within 3 feet of your kid (last I heard). Of course no one keeps track at recess and (at least in our school) at lunch. [/quote]

Contact Tracing:
Students determined to be in immediate proximity (within 6 feet) to the positive case for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period (for example, three individual 5-minute exposures for a total of 15 minutes) will be considered a close contact and will be excluded/quarantined. Exceptions:
Per the guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, [b]a student who is within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student is not considered a close contact as long as both students are wearing masks and the school has other prevention strategies in place,[/b] such as ventilation, distancing, screening, etc. This exception does not apply to adults in the school setting.
Students determined to be closer than 3 feet through the contact tracing process will be excluded/quarantined, regardless of mask use.

From what I understand, If your kid was unmasked (ie lunch inside on rainy day) they will be a close contact at 6 feet.[/quote]
