[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The stories on AEM about ResourcePath messes are not inspiring confidence.[/quote]

Such as?[/quote]

Tests with inconclusive results, not sending negative results even though parents need them to get their kids out of quarantine, administering screening tests to kids without parental consent forms (APS shares the blame for this), telling parents over the phone they would email results and then not doing so, reporting results to parents before they have physician sign off, having one-on-one calls with parents about testing methods that contradict APS guidance (APS shares blame for this too), etc.  I have no doubt they’ve undertaken an enormous task, but between APS and ResourcePath, I don’t have confidence in the surveillance testing process as implemented.[/quote]

What benefit do you derive by sowing doubt and suspicion? Why do you not want testing to occur or to be successful?

Several of the issues you cited are from a single family’s account, so please don’t make it sound like there are more issues than there are. Also all of the issues you cite besides a single inconclusive test are administrative in nature. It is not Resource Path’s fault that the school nurses don’t all have a consistent approach. Additionally I have yet to hear of a clear incidence where a kid was tested without parental consent - only that parents failed to read the fact that if they were tested at any point last spring or summer, that was considered consent to test weekly. Personally, I think that was a really sneaky and insincere way to drum up their “opt in” numbers, but they did communicate it several places.

Do you have any valid concerns with the testing protocol? [/quote]
