This week, as allergy season continues to bloom and the resulting symptoms become confused with COVID-19 symptoms, many students are out from child care at the school, forcing the decision of how to treat this occurrence. Treat it as COVID-19 and alert the school community of a possible outbreak? Ask students to stay home as a precaution? The former risks the spread of the idea that the school is unsafe, when in fact, it is among the safest places that people can visit right now.
In this episode, you'll meet Danielle Garcia, the architect of our safety and operations plan in response to the virus, and go into how the school manages not just the epidemiology of the virus, but the perceived threat that is constantly lying just underneath.
