[quote=Anonymous]I think I've spent close to $1500 out of pocket for same day PCR COVID testing so that my children wouldn't have to miss more school days than necessary. Friends report similar or more, especially if they have multiple kids at the school. (This is a Big-3 with very strict COVID protocols.) Although we can afford it, I am wondering if schools have taken into account the cost of this testing, and how it disproportionately affects lower income families. If you can't afford to spend $250/test so that your kid can go to school the next day, that means that 1) your kid has to stay home until the free testing results arrive (e.g., the PCR test kits available at the DC public libraries); 2) parents might have to miss work (if they can't work remotely). Our school seems to have stuck its head in the sand with regard to these costs and its disproportionate impact on lower income families.[/quote]
