So please explain the difference between the signed resolution versus this, in terms of which takes precedent.

Also this does not include the specific language in the OP quoted resolution, but does allow for schools to permit any absence as excused.  It seems to apply to short term scenarios here (family members being close contacts, etc).  What would stop the back door virtual option person from just saying her family was in close contact repeatedly until January (or beyond)?

Yeah I don’t see how this changes anything.[/quote]

The resolution is just Blah Blah Blah (it paves the way to pass the legislation). The legislation is the actual changes to the law. [/quote]

the legislation shifts discretion onto the school which now means entitled parents will harass the school when they feel it is “unsafe” for arbitrary reasons, likely also meaning that the parents will pressure the school for special treatment like worksheets sent home etc. It also authorizes parents to keep kids home even if they are vaccinated but not sick if there is a close contact at home. Next step is they will try to pressure DCPS to force vaccinated kids to quarantine…[/quote]
