Monmouth-Roseville Superintendent Ed Fletcher states that students in the district that present with COVID-19 symptoms, have been exposed, or awaiting test results and knowingly come to school could result in being placed into remote learning:
“That is very, very detrimental for us and kids in our classrooms who would have to be quarantined because a parent sent their child to school. I want to reiterate that if a parent knowingly does that, we will place that child into remote learning and we have the ability to place all the kids in the household into remote learning. We don’t like being in that position. No one wants to act like big brother and try to monitor this, but at the same time we have to keep people safe. If you have a symptom, someone in your household has symptoms, and you are wondering if you should come to school, call the school, call the Health Department, go get a test, talk to your doctor, there are avenues a parent can work through to make sure that we don’t run into an issue where we are quarantining kids at school just simply because of where they sit.”
