[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why would middle and high schools close when there is a positive case?  CDC guidance says vaccinated people don't have to quarantine when exposed.  Send the unvaccinated home and let the sane, vaccinated students continue their education.  [/quote]

This is a DCPS policy.[/quote]

That is a pre-vaccination policy.  I don't believe DCPS has updated its policies for this school year.  Still waiting for DOH to issue new guidance following the CDC new guidance.[/quote]

Actually how would it work if there are different quarantine rules for the vaccinated and unvaccinated?  One would have to disclose vaccination status, but that brings privacy concerns.  So why not just lie if one is unvaccinated?  Since we won't be able to know who is vaccinated or not, and given that some people will lie about being vaccinated, that means erring on the side of safety and making everyone quarantine.[/quote]

Schools have been collecting student vaccination info since forever. There has never been privacy concerns about your school knowing you got your tdap booster at age 11. I dont see why covid vaccine info would be any different. If there is a covid outbreak in a school, unvaccinated students should quarantine away, obviously, for their health and safety. Vaccinated students shouldn’t have to worry. [/quote]
