[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Importantly, this is CDC guidance on 'close contacts' in k-12 settings.  I imagine, like other surrounding school districts, this will soon be adopted by OSSE:

"Exception: In the K–12 indoor classroom setting, the close contact definition excludes students who were within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student (laboratory-confirmed or a clinically compatible illness) where
both students were engaged in consistent and correct use of well-fitting masks; and
other K–12 school prevention strategies (such as universal and correct mask use, physical distancing, increased ventilation) were in place in the K–12 school setting."

Meaning the exposure quarantines wouldn't send the entire class home.

If children have 10min mask-free morning snack time in the classroom, and 20 mini mask-free lunch in the classroom, they did not engage is consistent use of well-fitting masks.
If children are wearing surgical masks, which by design are not well-fitting, or masks that frequently fall under their nose, they did not engage in consistent and correct use of well-fitting masks.[/quote]

Wasn't the plan for lunch to take place in the cafeteria with multiple cohorts this year? Not making a joke I actually believe that's what I was told in June.[/quote]

From a staff coverage standpoint, requiring all classes to stay in their classrooms to eat lunch sounds like a logistical nightmare. With schools at 100% capacity I can't imagine that being a requirement.[/quote]
