I can see quarantining the kid if she was in one of those places where the Ebola dead were being tossed into the rivers, where the epidemic is raging out of control, but she wasn’t in such a place. That being said, a quarter-million for keeping her out of school a few days is ridiculous. I can understand not wanting to be stuck inside for days on end with a small child, but...
The school doesn’t know the difference between Nigeria and Liberia. There has been no Ebola in Nigeria since August. She is more likely to catch it in the US than she is to infect someone.
