At our school the principal couldn't tell us it was the teacher for privacy reasons. We just were able to figure it out when the entire class needed to quarantine and only staff had tested positive recently.

The risk is low but not 0 and I’m asking what is the policy. Not for your risk assessment. Thx.

The risk of this is low, since all APS teachers have to be vaccinated. The chances are much higher of it being a fellow student...much higher.

The guidance says regardless of mask usage when an adult is the case.

This happened at our school and it sounds like that is what happened. The whole class was deemed close contacts and they went virtual.
