[quote=Anonymous]SS parent, OP of the other thread (sorry about that, I'm a noob). Their handbook says what the OSSE flowchart and Q&A basically say, which only "count" a positive case IN the school (Teacher/Staff/Student) in the matrix of deciding isolation vs dismissal. I also found this from the LEA/OSSE form all schools needed to complete: “For an isolated case where an unvaccinated student is exposed to COVID -19 outside of school, 
families will notify the school of the exposure through the school’s Point of Contact. If the student has not yet tested positive, SSMA will follow OSSE guidelines and monitor the situation closely. If the student has tested positive, SSMA will notify the school community of the positive case along with our response to the case depending on guidance received from DC Health. “

Sounds like what so many of you have said--they are either lazy/overly concerned and mad at the mayor for requiring in-person and looking for any reason to close or someone had a complete freak-out overreaction and they are trying to walk it back. They have a Zoom scheduled for Friday to "clarify." *eyeroll*

They are still closed today but doing a deep cleaning. Why, I have no idea, because no one with a confirmed positive case or even symptoms was even IN the building, AND we now know this is less likely to spread via surfaces, AND couldn't they have done the deep cleaning YESTERDAY when they were ALSO CLOSED?[/quote]
