[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't people on here post all the time about how covid restrictions weren't enforced at all in some schools?  Like some schools went on the honor system about vaccination, so didn't quarantine unvaccinated kids last year?  (Sidenote:  It was apparently dumb to distinguish kids wrt vaccination status, but I guess we didn't know it was dumb originally.)

The point being:  Those people apparently avoided covid restrictions last year.  If that can happen, then why would rules be differentially enforced at other schools?[/quote]

Yes DCPS can make policies.  They are followed to different degrees at different schools.  For instance Walls did not participate in random testing, even if kids didn’t opt out officially.  The school was not allowed to test a kid who didn’t volunteer.  They also were not allowed to ask vaccination status so when there were exposures in the fall no one quarantined.  This is because parents, with social capital because they are UMC, complained.  The applications of policies are not equitable.[/quote]

My impression was that the policies were not followed where there were fewer resources to track kids and cases.  So, not the UMC schools, but the schools with more low income kids.[/quote]
