[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh the irony that those families who take a “wait and see” approach to vaccinating their 12-15 yos are rewarded. These rules are absurd and I hope this change wakes some people up to the insanity going on. Just a note that APE has been advocating for TTS this whole time. Maybe we should start listening to them more, lol. [/quote]

Agreed. 12-15 yo kids are fully vaccinated bc they have received all their vaccinations. The fact that there isn’t a booster doesn’t make them partially vaxed. Other vaccines are only available after a certain age and kids aren’t excluded before that age from school. How can we push back on this nonsense ?  [/quote]

Send your kid in unless they are actively sick. If questioned, you say “my child is fully up to date with all covid vaccinations recommended and authorized by the CDC for their age group. They are fully vaccinated. They are showing no symptoms and the state requires in school education”. [/quote]

And what do I do a kid in their Bio class is positive and they are identified as a close contact?  There is no reason my kid needs to stay home if we can show a negative test. APS seems to think otherwise. [/quote]

“I am following the instructions on the APS website. My child is fully vaccinated per the CDC and is exempt from quarantine”.[/quote]

The new CDC guidance also provides for quarantine for those who are more than 6 months from their second shot (w/o booster). So your statement would not be true.

SB 1303 requires schools to comply with CDC guidance. Yes, “to the extent practicable,” but I’m not sure how much discretion Youngkin will have to force schools to do something different from this recent guidance.

The VA VDOE has already instructed school districts to provide meaningful remote options for their quarantine periods, so I bet we see a return of concurrent learning for at least the first part of the winter.

I hope schools are proactive about sending home kids who present with symptoms when their F’wad parents send their sick kids to school.[/quote]
