[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OSSE updated their FAQs today-   https://osse.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/osse/page_content/attachments/Approved_Consolidated%20School%20FAQs_07.2.21.pdf

From this document-  see #39:

39. If an individual travels to any place other than Maryland or Virginia and receives a
negative COVID-19 test upon their return to the District, can they return to school?
[UPDATED]

Per DC Health’s Guidance for Travel, unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals who have traveled
[b]domestically[/b] to any place other than Maryland or Virginia must either (1) not attend school for 10 days
after returning, or (2) not attend school until tested for COVID-19 three to five days after returning AND
receive a negative COVID-19 viral test.

Unvaccinated or partially vaccinated individuals who have traveled [b]internationally[/b] must either (1) not
attend school for 10 days after returning, or (2) not attend school for seven days after returning, get
tested for COVID-19 three to five days after returning, AND receive a negative COVID-19 viral test. Even
if the test is negative, the individual must still not attend school for seven days. [/quote]

osse can bite me. my elderly MIL needs regular visits in NYC and we will not be keeping my kid out of school for a single hour. [/quote]

Ah yes, the entire school system exist to serve your individual family needs. Your MIL above all else. Please. I really hope all of you lying parents reveal yourselves so I know who to stay away from. The lack of values in this group is shocking. I guess your kids do need to be in school so they can learn from other people than you. [/quote]

Talk about heartless and cruel.  This person has a parent that needs assistance.  Lots of others areas in the country have figured out all the school situation without imposing draconian rules on kids and families.  Get a grip.  You are the problem here.[/quote]

+1. DC is encouraging tourism, bars and restaurants have been open even since pre-vaccine, and unvaccinated people of all ages can travel all across DC, VA, and MD indoors without masks yet remain exempt from testing or quarantine. These rules are arbitrary and don't support increased safety. Don't even get me started on taking away even more school from kids.

Bowser needs to eliminate this rule and just deal with the union. She only has this DOH rule to avoid more conflict with WTU.[/quote]
