[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I class is sent home until getting a negative test on their own. Let's say that takes 2 days, comes back and 3 days later another kid has a "bad headache " back home again but there's a project at work so this time it takes 3 days to go get the test then back again until a week and a half later someone eats the cafeteria food and has diarrhea so now you're out again for another day.

What a sh"tshow[/quote]

ok - so what do you propose?  No class?  No quarantine ever? Only the child that is sick gets sent home (one after another after another -until the entire class is sent home sequentially and the spread continues?  What?[/quote]

Test to stay like Boston (and probably many many other schools are doing)

I'm not sure what MCPS has against using the testing that's been provided by the federal government but irs causing much risk and disruption to not use it.

Exactly this.  Kids in the “exposed” class should get a rapid antigen test each morning for ~7 days, and if negative can come to class that day.

It’s really not that hard.  I also don’t know why PP assumes that one positive child would lead to a room full of positive kids, assuming they’re all masked.[/quote]

Bingo![/quote]
