Texas Education Agency: Parents don’t have to be informed of COVID cases

I mean... with the number of cases gking around whats even the point anyway? Schools would have to call you like every other day. I think its safe to say if u send ur kid to school u do it knowing theres going to be cases

 

I think contacting and tracing might make sense tho if its kids in the same classroom. But entire school u might as well just not open them at all or run them if thats the route ur gonna take

 

Its easy to instantly jump on the hate wagon cuz its Texas but if u really think about it schools would be doing nothing else all day but contacting parents and contact trace with how high cases are i  South US...

 

If ur worried for ur childs safety thats fair but maybe dont bring them in. Of course theres gonna be cases rn and a lot of them 

 

Its different i think if cases were low and worried cautious parents allowed their kids to go in but wanted to be informed the moment there was a threat... with how high cases are tho parents KNOW theres a high risk when they make the decision to allow them to go in. I think it would be disruptive to have to this on a daily basis.

Yeah i agree. If its the same classroom for sure they should be notified and i think its stupid not to

 

My comment was more directed if they meant the entire school as a whole. Cuz if everytime there was a case they had to inform or contract trace the whole school theres hot spot areas where they would be doing nothing else but that every week. When cases are high in an area ur taking a chance when u send ur kid in and you know that and ur making an informed decision knowing theres risk. A call every week everytime a case was found in a school of hundreds or thousands wouldnt serve much purpose at that point cuz if u chose to keep ur kid in everytime a case was found in the school, u basically would send them in never which brings back to the point that if ur gonna send them in u need to acknowledge the risk and that theres cases

 

But if its a case in the same classroom is a little different. The risk of contagion is much higher and its fewer parents to contact and fewer students to test or quarantine if need be. That theres no reason they shouldnt do!

As @JusKeepBreathin mentioned it isn’t sending the entire school home. Contact tracing is done and certain parameters have to be met for someone to be required to quarantine. For example, I was exposed last year and didn’t have to quarantine because I was fully vaccinated. Some of my gifted students had to quarantine because I couldn’t guarantee they were 6 feet apart. Parents are notified if their child is one that has been exposed and they are required to stay home. The entire school then gets a call that there was a case at the school but all those exposed have been notified. The notifications and quarantines need to happen. We had several exposures that caused other covid cases. And yeah, it can happen often and quickly. It’s why masks shouldn’t be mandated. When I tell y’all I’m so worried about children dying it’s unreal.

Yeah this makes sense. Superficially it appeared like contacting every parent in the entire school everytime and to offer or suggest quarantine... 

 

Thats what i think would of been exceesive when cases are high otherwise it would be constant

 

But specific to the individuals most at risk of having been in contact it makes sense to still contact and trace as well
