At okra Singer they quarantined 8 classes for 3 positive cases. That’s not reasonable. That’s trying to keep as many kids home as possible. [/quote]

I thought I heard the principal say it was two classes quarantined for three positive cases, plus some close contacts from KAH.  The third case had not been at school while symptomatic or around test date so they did not quarantine that class.  Now that they are rapid testing, I am all in favor of whole class.  Seems less disruptive than making teacher teach in hybrid model.  And wouldn’t teacher be a close contact?  So you’d have to have substitutes.  The principal at Singer is awesome and it’s a hard year. [/quote]

The rapid testing doesn't make a difference for quarantine. If they say you are a close contact of someone who tests positive, you cannot test out of quarantine. You are in for 10 days. Our school quarantined 2 classes for one positive test, and no one was allowed to test out because that's the MCPS policy. [/quote]
