[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are obviously going to need more testing of the entire school population. Yet the Chancellor said at his town hall that more massive testing for schools will only be considered if it is proved necessary. I am glad that K94 masks are going to be provided to teachers, however it seems that the city is simply not putting in the necessary resources to keep schools open. Montgomery and[b] Fairfax counties are both implementing test to stay[/b], and yet DCPS seems to have no plans to implement this. DCPS also has yet to implement the CDCs five day protocol for quarantine.[/quote]

Not completely accurate. FCPS is [b]piloting test to stay[/b] in a handful of schools (there are 200 schools for 180K students). Also none of the other school districts are implementing the 5 day protocol. The CDC just announced it. School systems are working with the local health departments to see how that might translate with school age populations. FCPS will be assessing whether or not to implement it. Right now, the 10-day protocol is still in place.

In other words, slow your roll. [/quote]

Failing to adopt the CDC sanctioned test to stay and the new CDC quarantine protocols virtually guarantees that most students will not be able to have in person learning in January.
