[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they stick with a quarantine policy if there is exposure to a COVID case at a high school, you would have 4 or 7 teachers out (depending on the school’s schedule) and upwards of 150 kids who have to quarantine because HS kids switch classes and have many teachers.  They would have to adjust this policy because it would be a nightmare.[/quote]

Wait, have they really not fixed this yet? They are going to make vaccinated teachers quarantine if a student is positive? [/quote]

Vaccinated teachers don’t quarantine.  I’m at an elementary school and my class had to quarantine but I still had to come in and teach in an empty classroom [/quote]

Did you tell your admin that you were vaccinated?  And is this DCPS?

I'm wondering how teachers' concerns with letting anyone know their vaccination status (and the adjacent union negotiations over this) will interact with these types of quarantines.  [/quote]

Yes this is DCPS and yes I told them.  It was dumb that I had to come in but I did.  I wasn’t allowed to be in my classroom because of “cleaning” so I had to teach from the teachers lounge.  People were coming in and out to use the copier and vending machines.   I should have just told them no and taught from home. [/quote]

Hopefully teachers in these scenarios will volunteer that they are vaccinated and won't say that they that is private medical information.  That would allow the vaccinated students and the vaccinated teacher to keep teaching and learning in the classroom (if DCPS follows CDC guidelines regarding no quarantine after exposure if vaxxed).

If teachers don't provide this information (even if vaxxed)....then I guess they have to work from home for two weeks.  I guess the vaxxed kids can do zoom with the teacher from the school and the unvaxxed kids will have to go home and do zoom from there.[/quote]

NP who is a vaccinated teacher.  I have no problem sharing my vaccination status in terms of medical privacy or whatever BS people keep claiming (because your vaccination status really isn’t privileged information).  My issue would be having to simulcast if there is a positive covid case.  There is no way my school will have the technology needed for this to be successful so it will probably be some nonsense where I have to stand in front of my computer and jump through hoops for both groups.  I do worry that if this happens frequently you will lose teachers because that is just nonsense and so much extra work at some point.[/quote]
