[quote=Anonymous]This is what will be happening in schools that open.  The question is not whether kids will get infected, but rather how many will get infected.  If they can keep the infected numbers low, some of the students will be able to stay in school and the number of those who were in contact with the student who are on home quarantine will stay low.  But, I expect that the numbers will not stay low.  Only time will tell.

[quote]Superintendent Harold Olin sent an email to parents of students at Greenfield-Central Junior High School Thursday afternoon notifying them that a student at the school had tested positive.

[...]

"This really does not change our plans," Olin said of reopening schools. "We knew that we would have a positive case at some point in the fall. We simply did not think it would happen on Day One."

In response, the school district enacted its "Positive COVID-19 Test Protocol," which included isolating the student in the school clinic. District and school nurses worked to identify other students or staff who may have come in close contact. Classrooms and areas where the student spent time were also given special cleanings.

Close contacts will have to quarantine for 14 days before returning to school, according to the protocol. Any staff or students who test positive for the coronavirus can return to school only after isolating at home for 10 days and allowing at least 72 hours to pass since showing symptoms.[/quote][/quote]
