[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are aged out of the school system, so this doesn't impact me. Still, I agree with others who have asked questions about this policy, especially when it comes to COVID. Has MCPSS articulated a clear policy that if you have symptoms and a positive COVID test, your kid can return to school as soon as the symptoms are better or they are fever-free, even if that's just a few days after the onset of symptoms or a positive test? Are they asking COVID positive children to return to school before day 5 (which is six days after the onset of symptoms or positive test, whichever is earlier)? While I know that Day 1 is not always going to be a Monday, if it is, then a COVID positive kid has to go to the doctor to get a note if the parent keeps them home in accordance with CDC guidance even if medical treatment isn't needed? That seems nuts. [b]You go to the doctor for medical treatment, not notes.[/b][/quote]

You can’t be serious.

Have you seen a doctor in the last three decades? Doctor’s visits last for about 10-15 minutes and in those brief interactions, they’re either writing you a drug prescription or giving you a note to excuse you for work/school.

Again, this is not new. It’s been this way for a long time. I don’t know why people are acting brand new, or why they’re acting like a school district should allow kids to be absent from school for more than 5 days SOLELY on the word of the parents. That’s nuts![/quote]
