[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not totally sure this is a terrible problem for the whole system, anyway -- teachers and in-person staff, having been vaccinated, should be protected. So the risk is only to families of other in-person kids, who presumably were willing to take on some additional risk.[/quote]

Yeah, no.  It doesn’t stop with those families.  Then those families spread it in the community.[/quote]

Covid spread is mostly about demographics in DC.  Our kid has been back at school 4.5 days a week in a DCPS program that hasn't seen a single kid test positive.  School is overwhelmingly white and UMC. The risk is totally worth it. Not sure I'd feel the same way in a more diverse program.  Reality.[/quote]
Oh, lovely, UMC white doesn't actually get covid.

As of February 26, some Lafayette students were finally tested, 3 1/2 weeks after school started but 11 classes (100+ kids in K and 1st) were not tested, as DC Health 'ran out of time.' Also, teachers have now gone 3+ wks w/out testing.

Janney was finally tested last week. They sent one tech for 160 kids. It was slow going but they got thru everyone. Families were notified about 24 hours later (I was impressed by the turn around time.)

I hope they can test more often.
