[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing but there are bigger fish to fry in my very personal likely not shared by other parents opinion.

Like, if there is a positive in a prek3 class, the whole class is still home for at least 7 days. If a kid tests positive, they are home at least 10 days. If a kids sibling tests positive, both are home at least 10 days.

And then there is the daily form where you state your kid doesn't have covid symptoms. At this point, we should agree that is just a waste of time?

At the same time, last year was so bad I'm just happy they get to go most days.[/quote]

Oh many you need to push for test-to-stay.  [/quote]

It would be akin to banging my head against a brick wall. They have already said that because kids eat lunch together unmasked, they cannot do test to stay. The app and the masks feel mild compared to the real possibility of more weeks at home but I learned last year that screaming into the wind only left me tired and changed nothing.[/quote]

Our charter has actually said that it is looking to drop outdoor masking but needs OSSE to weigh in on the test to stay program currently in place.  For me, at this point, I would be happy to see the end of masking all together, but it seems very reasonable to make sure that removing masks outdoors doesn't threaten the ability of the (what are mostly the) PK3 and PK4 kids to stay in school following an exposure.[/quote]

Can you (or anyone) explain this relationship between test-to-stay and outdoor masking? [/quote]
