[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m new to MCPS this year and mad they got rid of the extra COVID leave after I signed a contract. I have 2 kids so I know I could have used it. One of my kids and myself started having fevers today. Yesterday, I had a student email me to say he was out with COVID through Mo day and needed his missing assignments. I last saw him in class on Wednesday with over 50 other students in a room without working AC. What happens next? My rapid test is negative and just scheduled an appointment for Sameday testing.

Why didn’t the school alert me about a positive case in my class? Now I wonder about all the other kids that are already out sick.

Who is making sure this kid wears a mask upon his return to school? If I have COVID, who’s making sure I mask upon return? It just seems like it’s going to be a big cluster that could have been prevented.

I literally just got my first paycheck and now I’m sick. If this is COVID I am definitely filing worker’s comp. My room was 78 degrees without students. I complained about it and they brought in a little box fan.[/quote]

MCPS never notifies me although I am on record as immunocompromised and had an ADA accommodation to teach virtually in spring of 2021. I find out because students and their parents tell me.

The first week of school I had three students spread across three classes who tested positive. Last week, one of those classes had two more kids test positive.  It’s MS, they sit at tables or clustered desks and are too cool to wear masks so of course it is purely coincidence that the three who got sick in the same class sit together. [/quote]
