Not really. difficulty breathing could be due to allergy attack, asthma etc. Why do you need to quarantine entire classroom for that?[/quote]

I agree and that is very logical. Yes Asthma action plan and the inhailer will be at the health room. [b]However these guidelines from school is unclear and the fear is that when kids show these symptoms, they are going to just say quarantine everyone else.[/b]

You don't - have a doctor's note saying asthma - honestly, if the child has asthma that bad, they probably have an inhaler or rescue medicine with the nurse anyway and it's known.  They won't get sent home.[/quote][/quote]

I'm not worried, and my child has asthma and coughs.  MCPS has a history of being lenient on all fronts, so it's a given that medical exceptions will be made.
