[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible that your school notified you about the Covid cases via stating that the school had multiple cases and that allows them not to update you with every positive?  My kids are in DC schools but there have been plenty of positives these past two weeks.  Unfortunately, this is where we are but most schools aren't going to change masking policies.  It's too reactive![/quote]

At least in DC (can't speak to MD tho), the recommendations for masking, testing, etc. in schools aren't tied to school-specific case numbers. They're tied to the community levels, which are still too low to require universal masking. Sure, a school can make their own rules, but that becomes messy and hard to enforce real fast.

OP, are you not seeing your schools' cases on MD's Covid website? DC at least has a huge lag in updating. My oldest is in public school and they reported a bunch of cases last week, so obviously DC Health knows ... and the coronavirus.dc.gov still says they've had no cases since January.

(That said, I'm with the PP who said they'd rather not get school-wide notifications. Like, what the heck can I do with that information? We're all vaccinated and boosted. I make sure my kids wear masks and test a couple times in the week before we see vulnerable friends or relatives, and I'd do all that regardless.)[/quote]
