[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Had to revive this thread for the wonderful parting gift Gayles left us. Advised MCPS to quarantine entire classes for one kid having any symptom, including a headache, cough or diarrhea (hope the cafeteria food is top notch ....) for 10 days or negative test. Which makes it solely the responsibility of the kid's family who coughed to get a test pronto, which may not always happen and is disruptive for at least a day or two. This is entirely inconsistent with CDC guidance on a variety of levels.

[b]MCPS directly cited Travis Gayles by name[/b], before anyone says not to blame him. I hope he enjoyed his trip to France ignoring CDC guidance, then coming out inconsistent and more conservative on schools and our kid's education, social and emotional health. What a hypocritical idiot. [/quote]
Something is wrong with this dude. Clearly has issues and lacks the temperament to conduct his duties professionally.

Good luck to him, but I seriously doubt that he lasts a year at his "start-up" in SF. [/quote]

I was thinking the same- I don’t know what his problem is exactly but this definitely comes off as an F-you to parents and kids.[/quote]

MCPS just doubled down again in a lengthy statement that it was entirely him and his Departmemt, and they really have no choice but to follow. How does one person have so much power? Right or wrong, its out of control. [/quote]

Gayles has no power over MCPS. McKnight could absolutely ignore him and just follow the state guidance.[/quote]

That may be legally correct, but she says again and again in her statement about following Montgomery County DHHS guidance (and in other places and earlier statements, Gayles by name). He apparently gave them oral guidance not even in writing last week, if the media articles are correct, leading to numerous elementary school classes being quarantined amid the confusion. Pure brilliance. Just follow the damn CDC and state guidance! Why always think you know better than them? Hams Reimer tweeted that for what it's worth. [/quote]
