Your poor son. Is he going to do that the rest of his life?

Sounds like a great and responsible kid. You should learn from him.

Three days so far. Never turned positive.

If he has symptoms I would get a PCR. I was negative on 3 PCRS and then positive on a PCR. I would not bother if no symptoms though.

OMG look into therapy if you think MCPS should have COVID protocols. Covid is over!! Biden even said it!

Are you going to wear a mask and be scared the rest of your life? We have the shots, we have milder strains, etc. What is the endgame here of when you will feel "Safe"?

No transition back to virtual learning. That was a useless, unnecessary failure, now that we look back with hindsight.

It was a failure for your kids, not all. N

Sorry, hit send too soon. The policy was triggered because 3 or more kids in the same class came down with it.

3 positives in a class is what we were told on BTS night.

Previously it was 5% of students and staff over the last 14 days, which lines up with the Maryland Department of Health’s definition of a school-wide outbreak. They might reinstitute a mask mandate in that case. I can’t imagine they’d do anything beyond that.

I get that we’re unlikely to ever again see a district wide return of the mandatory mask policy or virtual learning. However, it is my understanding a specific school might get new guidance if it reaches a certain threshold of positives. Does anyone know that threshold and can provide a link to the source?
