My school now has rapid result Covid tests so we can test the students (with parental consent). I’m wondering how many other schools have the same option.

I wish our school had that. A student infected several teachers. He missed 4 days, then came back for for 2, missed 1, came back for 1, and missed 1 again. He was obviously sick, yet nothing was done. He was coughing, and was hoarse. He also stated several times he wasn't sick. Also this student does not wear his mask correctly and Admin says nothing.

We are not contact tracing locally and same situation with some kids. They come in sick, miss a day and say its allergies but are not tested and we do not have a mask mandate so most of our kids are not wearing a mask.

We have had that since the beginning of last year. Our tests are 98% accurate and we have the results within 15 minutes. It’s been great!

We have it also. I feel so bad for the nurses. They are swamped! With all the paperwork contract tracing, know when they can come back. Letting parents e, etc.

We get our results in 12 hours. So far no covid in school since testing began. We are mask mandatory.

Ours is “coming soon”

Parents can opt in to that in some districts in MA (if the district opts in). It’s called test-and-stay. If the student is exposed at school and showing no symptoms, they can get rapid tested at school and stay as long as it is negative.

I wish that were available, and it’s interesting that after 18 months of this, that it isn’t fairly standard by now.

Quick cheap testing would have eliminated this virus by now. Think that through for a moment.

We do! We call it “test to stay”. It’s a 15 minute rapid test. It’s kept sooooo many kids out of quarantine.

We just started weekly pool testing for staff and students. 176 Staff that participated last week came back all negative. Students were negative as well except for 1 positive at our school. Taking weekly test and knowing the results are negative does reduce the stress of it all we still continue to take all the precautions. Let’s band together whether vaccinated or not. Stay well - all you teachers are amazing!!!

He mentioned that insurance companies want us to first try Ritalin because they are generally cheaper. How much truth is there to this? Thanks!
