Schools should stay open.  Stupid timing tho on the sports angle on the heels of the YHS superspreader game last week.  What we’re they thinking to push that now.  Wait until everyone has forgotten about it next week.   [/quote]

Sports are a fundamental part of school.  And the whole team was vaccinated!

SB1303 has specific criteria for outbreaks. Those should apply to extracurriculars too.

This bs excuse to shut down extracurriculars to prevent outbreaks is the same thing the closed schoolers pushed last year to close schools. It's ridiculous.[/quote]

I agree.  It’s just poor timing to make the argument when you have dozens of athletes testing positive at the cusp of a surge, suggesting a problem with testing or mitigation.  It’s not that.  It’s just a surge and no one is sick.  But it risks undercutting the point.  Not getting why they thought now is the time to make that argument compared to next week.  [/quote]

Wrong.  BS.  Testing for someone who has no symptoms is a waste of time and money.  Useless so scrap right now.  Masks too.  Maybe APE is thinking one at a time.  First, get rid of asymptomatic quarantine for everyone that has access to vaccines (really should be everyone but I guess I see it for pre-K given how they handled everything else so far).  Second, testing (make testing available to those that are sick and to those who choose not to vaccine).  Third, masks (they don't do anything anyway).  If parents want to quarantine, or test, or mask, that's totally their choice, and APS should allow for that.  How many days to Youngkin?  Someone who recognizes that we're already beyond COVID and that parents deserve a choice.  We're finally going to back to normal in three weeks and all this goes away.  [/quote]
