[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand this policy at all. Why can’t the exposed kids get tested and demonstrate they’re negative? Why do we have to rely on the individual who has the symptoms? None of this makes any sense at all!! If my kid is exposed to a symptomatic kid and I get a test showing my kid is negative, then why does my Covid-free kid have to miss out on 10 days of education?!? Unbelievable this county. [/quote]

They can!!! I don't understand you at all! Why can't you read!!!

Where in the guidance does it say that the exposed individuals can return with proof of negative test? The burden of proof is on the symptomatic individual. [/quote]

The pp is the one lacking reading comprehension skills. It a kid tests positive, the school will keep the other kids home for a minimum of 10 days. There’s no shortcut.

This is why it’s critical to never tell mcps if your child tests positive. Or help contact tracers.[/quote]

Exactly [/quote]

In the absence of a negative COVID-19 test or alternate medical diagnosis of that individual, all students who were in close contact with the individual are required to quarantine for 10 days.  If the individual doesn’t produce proof of a negative test or alternate diagnosis, kids cannot return. I think we’re all assuming every parent is on the ball and will run out to same day testing and get their kid a test. So we’re basically stuck until a negative test is provided.  [/quote]
