Sooooo, haven’t slept all night... was told a Co-worker has tested positive for COVID-19! You would think they would have quarantined the building for at least two weeks, but instead we attended a staff meeting with people who could have been exposed! “Get tested if you want to, no need to quarantine?????” Praying to GOD I’ll be spared!!!

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this! Were you in close contact with the coworker who tested positive? Are teachers maintaining distance (such as in that staff meeting - which I think should have been held virtually)? Are masks worn in your building? If you have not been in close contact with that teacher and masks have been worn, your risk is fairly low. However, I would get tested just for your own peace of mind.

I agree there need to be clear protocols based on the recommendations of the best medical experts.

What we were told by the county medical director is that it only counts as "close contact" requiring tracing and testing if three conditions are met: closer than 6 feet for longer than 15 minutes and without masks. I honestly don't know if that is based on the best medical evidence - I really hope so! The way he explained it is that your goal with safety measures is to reduce the viral load so that even if you do get some viral molecules, there are not enough that your immune system is overtaken and you actually become infected. That made a lot of sense to me.

Praying for you

My sister, a mother of a 11 yr old has been a business owner for a very long time.

This has led her to rethink about her decision to carry on with this and would like to switch to a role in technology. Would she qualify to lead teams? Or should she focus on learning a hard skill

Hello Fishes,

Additional Posts in Special Education Teachers

I started the school year with a class of 12 self-contained students (FR and SF mixed class) math class. Slowly, but surely, my roster bubbled to 17. Since we are all virtual instruction, I said to myself, it's OK. Now, we learned we are going back to the classroom in March, and my room is very small, set for 12 students max? In addition, I only have one teacher's aid, who just told me that she is dyslexic and can't help me too much. I am getting nervous as the days go by! Any suggestions?
