My son had to be picked up from school on a Tuesday, a few weeks ago, because he didn't feel well and had a temperature of 99.9. The nurse told my husband that he wasn't allowed back until the following Monday.

I logged in to his school app a few minutes ago and saw that the nurse classified his absence as a "Covid positive quarantine." He wasn't tested and he felt better by the end of the day, but he couldn't go back to school for almost a week. I know they want to keep the numbers inflated in order to keep their money flowing in. There is no other explanation.

Thankfully I'm a homemaker, or else I would have been out a week's pay for this! How many parents do lose out and have to make arrangements for this farce? This is utterly ridiculous. The school board superintendent is on her way out and the ones on the board aren't much help.
