[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about all the test to stay stuff? That was just passed like a month ago. Good god. [/quote]

How would they administer dozens or hundreds of rapid tests every morning before letting exposed students or teachers into the building or before the kids rode the bus? It was feasible with the number of Delta cases but I think every classroom will have exposures and I don’t think there is manpower to widely stand that up. [/quote]

Simple, they set up mass testing sites like they did for mass vaccine sites.  Only kids who don't have transportation or other valid reasons test at school.  MoCo offers free transportation to testing sites so that takes away the transportation excuse.[/quote]

Not going to happen. The county testing sites are overwhelmed and so are the commercial/medical sites. Plus no at home tests in stock both in person or online.[/quote]

The MCPS PR campaign this week was “Say Yes to the Test”.

Unfortunately, I said yes, my child was in close contact before winter break, and MCPS wouldn’t test. Tweets by school staff give the impression that they can’t get tested at school either.

Perhaps Dr. McKnight placed a call into Santa during her vacation and MCPS will be fully stocked with COVID tests on January 3rd. With staff and students traveling, testing kits will be needed.[/quote]
