More frequent testing may be needed for students, teachers, staff, and adult volunteers who are not fully vaccinated and engaged in school athletics and other extracurricular activities. Testing at least once per week is recommended for high-risk sports and extracurricular activities (those that cannot be done outdoors or with masks) at all community transmission levels. In areas of substantial-to-high community transmission levels, testing twice per week is recommended for participation in these activities. Additionally, if the school is not tracking COVID-19 vaccination status of participants and support teacher and staff screening testing should be encouraged.
Fully vaccinated students, teachers, and staff with no COVID-19 symptoms do not need to be tested following an exposure to someone with COVID-19. People who have tested positive for COVID-19 within the past 3 months and recovered do not need to get tested following an exposure as long as they do not develop new symptoms. Any fully vaccinated person who experiences symptoms consistent with COVID-19 should isolate themselves from others, be clinically evaluated for COVID-19, and tested for SARS-CoV-2 if indicated.
People with COVID-19 have reported a wide range of symptoms from no or mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Because some of the symptoms of flu, common cold, and COVID-19 are similar, it is hard to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. Testing can help confirm a diagnosis, and inform medical treatment and care. Also, testing will confirm the need to isolate from others for at least 10 days and quarantine close contacts.
Not if the kids are learning at home or being homeschooled.

Many many thanks !!!
Outrageous. Everybody over TWO should be masked all day??? I know some folks at CDC only too well. Every one of them was hired to fill a quota. They should be tied up in duct-tape masks and tossed into the Chattahoochee.

Excellent excellent point !!!!
Has anyone brought that up at a school board meeting ??!!??
Real homeschool, not remote school with govt cr@pola being peddled everyday.
“So they are going to harass kids in school for not take a non approved FDA experimental gene therapy.”
Aren’t they the ones whose panties get in a wad if there’s even a hint of bullying? If this shaming happens, they’ll take top prize when it comes to bullying.
Exactly
No
Testing introduces covid. The test is the problem.

Ensure legal preparedness for a SARS response.
In general, the federal government has primary responsibility for preventing the introduction of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States, and states and local jurisdictions have primary responsibility for isolation and quarantine within their borders. The authority to compel isolation and quarantine is derived from each state’s inherent “police power,” the authority of all state governments to enact laws and promote regulations to safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens. By statute, the HHS Secretary may accept state and local assistance in the enforcement of federal quarantine and other health regulations and may assist state and local officials in the control of communicable diseases. Because isolation and quarantine are “police power” functions, public health officials at the federal, state, and local levels may occasionally seek the assistance of their respective law enforcement counterparts to enforce a public health order.
U.S. public health officials need to be knowledgeable about the legal authorities and statutes that exist at the local, state, and federal levels for enforcing these measures. Three issues related to legal authorities that might be required to contain SARS are essential to ensuring preparedness for a rapid response:
Appendices A2 and A3 were developed by CDC in consultation with external partners. Appendix A2 is a checklist of legal considerations related to SARS preparedness and response at the community level. Appendix A3 is a fact sheet that outlines some practical steps for SARS legal preparedness. Additional considerations related to community containment measures, including isolation and quarantine, are addressed in Supplement D.
Several million homeschool families might disagree. And those kids at home don't get the Critical Race Theory and America Hate instruction that the vaccinated kids will get...
Look for a huge up tick in home schooling.
Good point.
They are trying to do it with college students also.
That’s like trying to herd cats. Good luck with that.
Certainly when it’s weekly.
