[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]

But then they would need to be sitting within 3 feet during lunch time. Also, if lunch is outside that no longer counts.

There should not be a need for widespread quarantining of kids whether or not they were vaccinated. But teachers (now) and students (when approved) should be required to be vaccinated. There is literally no other way out of the pandemic.[/quote]
