[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our kids are in a DC charter, not DCPS, but the “close contact” thing is not giving me a lot of confidence. We get the mass emails home that say x-number of kids in our kids’ grades tested positive, and that, if we haven’t heard personally from the school, our kids are not close contacts. Last week, DD’s best friend and classmate tested positive and she’s spending the week in quarantine. We never heard from the school. I have no idea who they consider “close contacts” if not our kids’ closest friends. (Amazingly, dd has not tested positive.)[/quote]

In DCPS they are very narrow in their definition of close contact. It’s only by proximity when seated. They don’t take into consideration mask wearing or non compliance with staying seated. We had ONE kid not have to quarantine from a class and it was the worst kid for mask wearing/staying distanced. The parents kept them home anyway. I think they are trying to make it seem like less exposures. So far we haven’t heard of any positives from those quarantined kids so hopefully they really aren’t spreading it. [/quote]
