[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Email from APS indicated they wanted some kind of record of those opting out to inform "contact tracing".  [/quote]

I am in APS and it seems ridiculous.  I am supportive of masking remaining, but it's clear that the new law makes it optional.  I don't know a single teacher who wants to task of "checking the mask-apt out list" before asking a student to pull up their mask.  So now, if a kid takes it off at lunch, no teacher is going to ask them to put it back on.  So this "opt out for contact tracing" thing is complete nonsense.[/quote]

Agreed, I don't want my child's teacher wasting time checking lists and monitoring mask compliance.  [/quote]

I don't think that is what APS teachers will be doing.  The opt out list is only for students who are in close contact if someone has COVID.  Teachers will not be checking the lists in their classes to see who or who is not complying.[/quote]

So practically that means:

- a kid is not officially on the opt-out list, sits between 3 & 6 feet from a positive Covid case
- kid takes off mask anyway, no one checks/cares/whatever
- contact tracing happens
- said kid doesn't count as a close contact

So the incentive to officially be on the opt-out list is...?[/quote]
