[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]CDC says the class does not quarantine if all are masked. This goes out the window with cafeteria lunch. [/quote]

That’s not what this says: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/operation-strategy.html[/quote]

You posted the entire guidance so which part are you referring to? Also, your link is: K-12 School Operational Strategy
Updated May 15, 2021. They updated guidance in July 9th.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/schools-childcare/k-12-guidance.html
Specifically:

8. Contact Tracing in Combination with Isolation and Quarantine
Schools should continue to collaborate with state and local health departments, to the extent allowable by privacy laws and other applicable laws, to confidentially provide information about people diagnosed with or exposed to COVID-19. This allows identifying which students, teachers, and staff with positive COVID-19 test results should isolate, and which close contacts should quarantine. [b]See the added exception in the close contact definition for the exclusion of students in the K-12 indoor classroom who are within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student with masking [/b]and other prevention strategies. See the Department of Education’s Protecting Student Privacy FERPA and the Coronavirus Disease 2019external icon for more information.

[b]Exception: In the K–12 indoor classroom setting, the close contact definition excludes students who were within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student (laboratory-confirmed or a clinically compatible illness) where
both students were engaged in consistent and correct use of well-fitting masks; and
other K–12 school prevention strategies (such as universal and correct mask use, physical distancing, increased ventilation) were in place in the K–12 school setting.[/b][i][/quote]
