End Testing, Isolation Requirements: Wake school leaders make changes to COVID-19 policies

Wake County schools have shifted from conducting voluntary COVID-19 testing on campus to providing families with at-home testing kits instead. Full Story: https://www.wral.com/coronavirus/wake... School system leaders presented the change — one of two significant ones — to the school board Tuesday, in their first presentation on COVID-19 protocols since the spring. The changes have been made administratively and were not voted on. School board members spent most of the work session debating how to accommodate students with compromised immune systems, as they navigate schools and communities without mask mandates and with ongoing COVID-19 transmission. But most school board members did not favor bringing back a mask mandate, which the school system hasn’t had since March 7.
