[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I class is sent home until getting a negative test on their own. Let's say that takes 2 days, comes back and 3 days later another kid has a "bad headache " back home again but there's a project at work so this time it takes 3 days to go get the test then back again until a week and a half later someone eats the cafeteria food and has diarrhea so now you're out again for another day.

What a sh"tshow[/quote]

ok - so what do you propose?  No class?  No quarantine ever? Only the child that is sick gets sent home (one after another after another -until the entire class is sent home sequentially and the spread continues?  What?[/quote]

Test to stay like Boston (and probably many many other schools are doing)

[b]I'm not sure what MCPS has against using the testing that's been provided by the federal government [/b]but irs causing much risk and disruption to not use it.

They don't want to know.[/quote]

Right. They just want to send them home.

J[b]ust do rapid antigen tests as often as you can, and send home anyone positive while keeping everyone that tested negative. Once a classroom crosses a certain threshold of concurrent cases (3-5), shut down the room for 10 days[/b].[/quote]

Christ, it is actually depressing that a couple of random anonymous posters in like 3 minutes can come up with a better and more thought-out policy than the entire leadership of MCPS. Chalk up 1 for DCUM trolls; 0 for MCPS; and of course -1 million in lost learning for all MoCo students.[/quote]
