+1. Of course we are.
Show me where in the DCPS guidance it says this is required.
"Show me where in the law it says I have to act ethically and responsibly."

I don’t feel like this is a fair ask with DCPS threatening to call CPS on parents with too many absences.

That could be 2 weeks
Could be, but more likely one.
So either one week for you, or one week for a pyramid scheme's worth of families.

Yes. Because the symptoms overlap but you must not send to school if covid but can send to school if cold (despite some crazies who think kids must stay home for runny nose or cough without fever or lethargy or other symptoms, it is ok to send if there are mild cold symptoms and kid otherwise feels fine).

I’m at a charter. Day 2 my kid was sent home as a close contact. PLEASE PLEASE test your kid just to be sure.

It’s Thursday - maybe by Monday theyll be better. But in general this is what’s going to happen when we re enter life I think.

I would get them tested for COVID and assuming they are negative try and get them well before school starts. Good luck...very frustrating timing!

Runny nose, sneezing, etc. This is normally a send to school no brainer situation. But what is the protocol now?
