, there are 19,548 confirmed cases within the district — 3,877 employees, 15,594 students and 77 vendors or visitors.
"Additionally, the State has not extended the quarantine code to be used in accommodation of absences in our attendance records, so students should be considered truant for non-attendance,” the district added in its announcement."We simply must discontinue the provision." The consequence for noncompliance with the policy change was unclear Thursday. However, the district said parents who want to keep their children out of school can enroll their kids in Home School Education.
The updated guidance impacts students staying home as a precaution — not children who test positive for Covid-19. The district added that if a student is exhibiting illness or symptoms of Covid-19, they should be kept at home. Under previous safety protocols, if a child was sick, staying home due to exposure to the virus or kept home by their parents out of an abundance of caution, they were given an excused absence, according to the
So... Florida wants sick kids in school? Why Republicans are insane and he'll bent on dictatorship. I homeschooled again this year and couldn't be happier. I'd like to see a republican try and force me to send my kids to school.
Florida is no longer free. Florida no longer believes in parental rights. DeSantis and evey other Trump Republician lied about your freedom and parental rights.
Right when you think it can’t get any worse for children in Florida.
I don't think the message should be 'Your children must be part of a Petri dish or we will take action against parents' is the one they ought to be sending, especially students who are immunocompromised.
“Florida…if the gators or crackheads don’t kill ya, our Governor will!”
People will freak out but this should have been done at the beginning of the school year. If your kid is at home, they should be in homeschool. Why is that a bad thing? Some parents just don’t want to commit to one or the other - Well that’s too bad! Time to pick a lane already
Can't wait to see Republicans protesting against this loss of Freedoms and the Nanny State Interfering with The Family.
MICHAEL56026971 I'm sorry what!!!
Silliness.
To be clear this refers to kids being kept home out of fear of covid not those who actually have covid. If you are keeping your kid home that much or are that scared then homeschool them.
Florida becoming North Korea
Every kid that isn't in a seat costs the district money, if you're wondering what is motivating this decision.
Dcdefiant1 It's all about controlling the population and nothing to do with Covid.
Get ready for more sick and dead children.
VaGyver WTF? Is this about funding headcounts, or something less asinine? Seems like a terrible thing to try to justify.
FL is a backward state
The school district says it's oh-so-concerned about the extra burden placed on teachers and that's why they did this? How about being more concerned with the teachers' health - i.e. *not* getting COVID?

Lord protect our children 🙏 This is getting out of hand
Sad covid effected children now must go to scolli in Fla. & Va. to spread the virus to others in school.
Parents should have the right to decide what’s best for there children . No one including our Gov has pandemic experience.
Then the parents need to reach out to the school and explain that the school is now responsible for any and all medical expenses arising from exposure on their property. GOPDeathCult
My daughter's school didn't even call to say she was exposed to a positive case . She got sick infected my household and the school wouldn't excuse her absence and told me not to worry about getting her tested . Her grandmother with underlying conditions is now extremely sick .⬇️
So being sick is NOT an excused absence from school? If all the inane actions by GOP elected officials in FL have not awakened the sensibilities of its residents it's what's called 'stupid as stupid does' and sadly, there is no cure for it 🤔 ENOUGH! VoteThemAllOut2022
What a banger idea! Too many days out n doc srvcs can remove child and you go to court. Then fail child in their grade. Doesn’t matter if they are Straight A students . Failed state. Death State.
Florida is Sweden and Sweden is Florida.
The Pro-Covid cult is intent on killing us, starting with our kids. If a student has a certain number of unexcused absences, the school is obligated to call child services, who may decide to take your child from you and put them in foster care. This is horrifying.
Don't make me come for u desantis.
Get vaccinated/boosted, wear a mask, social distance & go about your business safely. Why? B/c THERE'S just NO GETTING AROUND IT. It's up to all of us to choose to come together to stop the spread to end the pandemic. Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do. Just do right.
Get ready for a surge in pediatric covid patients.
Putting 40+ people in an enclosed space and rotating them every 50 minutes, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week during a pandemic is not conducive to a safe environment.
'Covid concerns' , that sounds like a blanket statement, it deliberately isn't at all specific for a reason I'm sure, sounds like they have no problem sacrificing other kids, while I'm sure their kids are perfectly safe,

Good job doneev
What the hell is wrong with America!?
An ideological decision based on political expedience, not science. The GOPDeathCult is still making horrendously stupid decisions to score a few politica points. Never mind that 3,000+ people died of covid yesterday, 95%+ of whom were unvaccinated.
And parents want these lunatics teaching their kids? I'd pull them out and transfer my child immediately.
Pack your stuff and move to a state with more freedom out from the yolk of conservatives tyranny
Kids would learn more at home than they would attending Florida schools.
PinkPeonies2014 What happened to parental choice? Isn’t that what they say they’re for when talking about curriculum and books? 🤨 if I didn’t know any better I’d think these psychopaths don’t care about consistency. 🙄🙄🙄
1) Republicans want to destroy public education 2) Republicans want to keep the pandemic going. 3) Republicans dont care about the health and welfare of children.
