[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why won’t the Health Department take responsibility for the directive? Is it possible Dr. McKnight misinterpreted their guidance? And why not communicate to the public what is going on? When you start quarantining 1000 kids overnight with no warning or explanation, and yoU have different principals sending different notes out and interpreting the advice differently, you absolutely erode any grace the public might have given you if you were transparent. Also, why not do rapid testing? Why not push back against the health department, corral some support from parents if needed. Something doesn’t compute here.[/quote]

Because Dr. Gayles is on his way out. This is his middle finger as he leaves. Once he's gone I bet this won't even be an issue anymore.  Rapid tests should be done, by the health room nurse or tech, which again is under DHHS. [/quote]

Rapid tests aren’t as reliable as PCR[/quote]  Agree but they are a good in the moment measure to determine if an entire grade level needs to be sent home because a kid has a headache.  If the rapid is negative, kids can stay in school unless the PCR comes back positive.  The in and out this year is going to be ridiculous. [/quote]

They aren't going to send a kid home with a basic headache.  Be real.  If you didn't want the in/out you could have done private or virtual.   Stop complaining and deal with it.  You wanted schools open.  You want no testing.  You got it.[/quote]

You are wrong. Not only have they already sent home kids with “basic” headaches but they have also quarantined their classes.[/quote]
