Was just sent this letter from the Granite School District here in Utah:

-------------------
Dear Patrons and Employees of Granite School District,

Please review this message in its entirety as it contains important updates regarding COVID.

Test to Stay Protocol - Please Register TODAY!

When a school reaches a certain threshold of COVID cases, state law requires that we initiate a "Test to Stay,” protocol which allows for testing of all students who are not vaccinated or have had COVID within the last 90-days. Those who test negative will be permitted to continue with in-person instruction while those who test positive, or do not test, will be required to remain at home per state law.

Parental permission is required to administer a shallow nasal rapid antigen test to your child if such a protocol is initiated. We will notify you in advance of such a protocol, but we are asking for parents to complete the permission form in advance to expedite the process if such a protocol becomes necessary. To be clear, you will only need to authorize this testing once per child/student for the entire school year.

Please complete the permission form here - https://c19.health.utah.gov/surveys/?s=ACRKKX7HTJ

Again, we will NOT test your child without your express permission as provided to us by clicking on the link above. For more information on “test to Stay,” please check out our website at https://www.graniteschools.org/covid/.

KN95 Masks for Children

We continue to strongly recommend mask usage within our schools per health department guidance. We currently have tens of thousands of high quality masks in stock at our schools and warehouse. If you would like a KN95 mask for child, we have those available for order through our warehouse. Please let your principal know and we can provide that for your child.

Quarantine Procedures Between Home or School Exposure

We have had many questions regarding the quarantine protocols for different types of exposure. The attachment from Salt Lake County Health Department helps clarify those differences. In short, if a student or employee is exposed at home and not vaccinated, they must quarantine. If a student or employee is exposed at school and not vaccinated, they have the option of returning to school but will be required to wear a mask (indoors and out) for 10-days from the time that the exposure occurred. More details are provided in the attachment.

Our COVID information page has all of these resources and information and more at https://www.graniteschools.org/covid/, including links to our case count dashboard.

Thanks for your patience and support as we work to keep our students and staff as safe as possible.

Sincerely,

Granite School District

Just ridiculous, so even though being vaccinated does not prevent you from getting or spreading covid, they'll just skip testing them. And all for the population that is least affected. If you don't get vaccinated we'll single out and discriminate against your children
