[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything is good! There will be testing. Reason prevailed. Kids will not quarantine for “new onset headaches”. Gayles is leaving and Elrich is still well Elrich. [/quote]

What happens when the family of the kid who has the symptom has not opted into testing? Your kids will still get sent home. So no, reason has not prevailed. They still need to rescind this guidance. [/quote]

So will there be a different option in for the rapid tests vs. random surveillance testing? This is starting to get confusing, would have been nice if this had been ironed out before the school year started.  [/quote]

All of my neighbors, who are bright and good parents, are highly confused about the testing. For me personally, I would 100 percent opt in to the symptomatic rapid testing, but I don’t find a ton of value in the opt-in random surveillance testing. Of course this is all fluid, but the consent they’ve been circulating is a legal agreement with an outside contractor, Cian Diagnostics, for individual pcr tests. So I don’t see how signing their consent form could possibly be used to consent to rapid tests performed by a school health tech/dhhs nurse. I would think they would need separate consent but they have not clarified. Many details continue to need clarification. This is why when everyone was begging to see “a plan” a few weeks ago, we were hoping to head off some of these issues before school got underway. Alas…[/quote]
