[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what the new form looks like but I plan to opt out my vaccinated student.  I will keep my child home if they are symptomatic and we will handle testing.  There is no legit reason to do screening testing on an asymptomatic vaccinated student in a school environment where everyone has the option of getting vaccinated.  And I'm not risking the possibility that a false positive will derail my child's education.

I also happen to think the "opt out" model is illegal and the school district has no business doing medical testing on my child without my consent.  [/quote]

It’s not meant for vaccinated students.

“ Participating schools will aim to test a random sample of 10-20% of asymptomatic students, targeting unvaccinated students.”[/quote]

I wonder how they are going to figure out how to target unvaccinated students given DCPS is not going to ask for status from anyone. Maybe it means that more effort will go into the testing programs at the ES school and up to 7th grade. I hope so.[/quote]

Because the vaccinated students should opt-out.  As the opt-out form says, DOH recommends the asymptomatic testing for *unvaccinated* individuals.  [/quote]
