[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS should provide the testing. Bottom line. You want to keep schools open? Provide free testing. Larla has a cough? Bring her to the nurse, mom signs a consent form, and the school administers the test. Everyone gets to stay in school. Larla can  either stay or recover at home provided the test is negative. We’re one of the wealthiest counties in the country and instead we’re acting as though we have no resources at our disposal. Heck instead of giving my 1st grader a chromebook, reallocate those funds to TESTS, so my 1st grader doesn’t have to sit at home for 10 days. Even better, administer testing of all students every damn week if you really want to keep schools open and have reliable case data.   [/quote]

Why is it the schools responsibility to parent your child?   Why have kids if you refuse to take care of them or get health care.  You need mcps to stay open.  Mcps does not.  [/quote]

Wow, um have you ever heard of equity? Not everyone has easy access to a test and can drop everything to get their kid tested or take them to the dr. If the county is going to put in place a requirement that in turn could prevent some kids from have access to the free and public education they’re entitled to, then they need to provide the testing. This policy is going to disproportionately impact lower income parts of the county. [/quote]
