In guidance for school families posted online Friday, the district explained how the “Test to Stay, Learn, Play, & Participate” program will work: “Students identified by school health staff as close contacts at low risk of exposure will not need to quarantine as long as they remain symptom-free,” according to the new guidance. The guidelines say that students who are close contacts determined to be at high risk of exposure must quarantine for 10 days from the date of exposure — they’ll be directly notified by the school and public health officials — but the new rules allow for several exceptions. Students and staff members can get exempted from quarantine as long as they remain symptom-free. They may provide proof of full vaccination, or proof of a positive COVID-19 test within the last six months.
