Does MCPS have plans to address this? They're going to get a lot of students testing positive with their surveillance testing (symptomatic or not). How will all of these kids stay caught up in class?[/quote]

Are you asking about kids who are isolating or quarantining?

A kid who is quaranting is doing so because they refused to vaccinate.  That's the natural consequence.  The school system owes them nothing.

If a student is isolating, then they should get some kind of support, like clarity about assignments.  It's no different than kids who were out for medical reasons prior to covid.  [/quote]

MCPS was clear about the in person plan with no support if your child got sick.  Natural consequences is choosing in person and getting covid and/or quarantining.

Your student can email their teacher for clarification.  [/quote]

Except for when they wrote down the opposite of that as official policy.

[quote] Quarantine

There may be times when students need to quarantine due to possible exposure to COVID-19. In these cases, students will be marked as an excused absence and a code unique to MCPS (QUA) will be assigned. This code allows MCPS to monitor and track students who need to quarantine. While students are in quarantine, they will be provided with learning materials and a Zoom link to attend live instruction with a designated quarantine teacher. This teacher will provide direct instruction and review and will also facilitate small group instruction in reading and mathematics. In addition, students will have access to learning materials in the learning management system myMCPS Classroom (Canvas). Attendance will be monitored during quarantine.[/quote]

But a lot of schools and teachers are not living up to that policy.[/quote]
