D.C. public schools requiring negative covid tests after Thanksgiving

. Schools will also accept photos or copies of students’ results if they don’t have internet access at home.The district’s approach sets it apart from other school systems in the region, which have dropped test-to-return policies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stopped recommending routine screening in schools butfor large events, “high-risk activities” — such as contact sports or theater — and returns after holiday breaks.

In Montgomery County, schools are providing coronavirus test kits to staff and students, but proof of a negative test is not required to return to school after the break. Last year, schools throughout the region saw an uptick in coronavirus cases on their campuses after Thanksgiving, forcing some to move to virtual classes, suspend in-person activities or start an early holiday break.

Sounds reasonable. More schools should do it.

ChuckWendig As all schools should. It takes 15 minutes to help keep other people safe.

No lessons learned by the left clearly

🤡

Does each kid need to take three tests to ensure an accurate reading?

Science deniers

Such bs

You get what you vote for

Move, but leave your politics

Who the hell would live there and why do you still live there?

Child abuse.

The sad part is that the parents here will never ever stand against this they will just go right along with it

Unlawful

No wonder everyone living it that city is so dumb.

I hope enough parents refuse to comply and force the district to reevaluate its nonsense.

Holy moly, is DC trying to follow the China model? Next, they're going to have exposed children get sent off to dedicated quarantine facilities. Let's see how the parents feel about that.

But they refuse to clean the restrooms correctly. SCIENCE 👍

Stop voting for democrats

Freak Show Democrats.

Covid is over.

So they can come to school with a common cold, the flu, RSV, etc. with no tests needed. But Covid, which is a cold at worst for kids, needs to be tested for?

Just like China. Thank god I don’t live there.
