[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why everyone keeps saying MCPS is sending kids home. You do know that the DHHS health room nurse is the one who decides, right? [/quote]

That is an interesting point. So are you saying the nurse works for the health department and not MCPS? Is that true?
[/quote]

Yes they (the nurse and health tech) are employees of the health department.  I didn't realize that until my 2nd year teaching.  I always assumed that they were mcps employees.[/quote]

Who tells them who to quarantine? MCPS. They aren’t in the classroom right? So confusing.[/quote]

The nurse/tech asks the student and the teacher is the classroom. None of these decisions are made by MCPS. If you want to be mad at someone, be mad at the health department. [/quote]

DHHS (Gayles in particular) may have been the source of the policy, but they couldn't force it on the school. This decision was entirely by McKnight. That's who you should blame.

Remember that as the BoE decides who to crown superintendent.[/quote]

When they are the ones in the school making the decisions I'm not sure how mcps can tell nurses how to do their jobs.[/quote]
