[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why would middle and high schools close when there is a positive case?  CDC guidance says vaccinated people don't have to quarantine when exposed.  Send the unvaccinated home and let the sane, vaccinated students continue their education.  [/quote]

This is a DCPS policy.[/quote]

That is a pre-vaccination policy.  I don't believe DCPS has updated its policies for this school year.  Still waiting for DOH to issue new guidance following the CDC new guidance.[/quote]

Actually how would it work if there are different quarantine rules for the vaccinated and unvaccinated?  One would have to disclose vaccination status, but that brings privacy concerns.  So why not just lie if one is unvaccinated?  Since we won't be able to know who is vaccinated or not, and given that some people will lie about being vaccinated, that means
 erring on the side of safety and making everyone quarantine.[/quote]

No privacy concerns you must turn in a medical form that includes all your vaccines to attend public school in DC.  Medical professionals can note if the student has had a covid vaccine as well. Alternatively students could.provide a copy of their vaccine card. There is NO privacy issue when you already MUST legally turn in such documents to attend school.
The problem is many school have not followed the rules of enforcement in the passed. 
I suppose kids would notice who is learning at home and who is not but that is just how it is.  Vaccinated kids shouldn't be sent home unless the CDC says the need to be.  Which I suppose could be the case with all the idiots out there helping things like Delta and other mutations along.[/quote]
