You do realize kids generally are not getting super sick from this right?  Yes, some kids are showing symptoms and some are even needing hospital care. But, most of the kids in the hospital are for non-covid illnesses they are getting after being back in school on unmasked areas like RSV and such.  
If a school closes every time 1 person happens to have a close contact they will never be open. That will certainly hurt more kids than being open.  They could simply have the close contact person test and follow the DC protocols no need for an entire class or school to shut down. [/quote]

That’s not what the doctors in Florida are reporting.[/quote]

Schools in Florida are not wearing mask,  social distancing and the staff are not required to be vaccinated.  They are exposed at much higher rates out in public people because people are not wearing masks.  DC schools and community have layered mitigation for covid. You are trying to compare very different situations with DC and Florida that aren't comparable. 
Also, sight your source??  I know a lot of doctors in the south are stressed out about covid, RSV, and other respiratory illness in kids. They are asking for mask mandates, social distancing, tests, contact tracing and quarantine guidelines to be followed.  None have said close schools for another year or for indirect exposure.
