  Case: COVID Positive
A teacher found out a child in the 5th grade POD tested positive for COVID. The school administration said the building was being cleaned over the weekend but was not notifying student's families that were not in the same classroom as the child. Yet, the teacher knows the child who tested positive shares the same P.E and Art class as her students. This teacher is also very aware that a few children in her class have preexisting conditions, as well as a few of her students, are being raised by their grandparents. Shes worried the school administration isn't doing enough to inform her student's families. She's fearful or reaching out to her student's parents and losing her job. What does she do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
The teacher absolutely needs to speak up to the administration. I also think the teacher needs to protect herself and have a paper trail of the documentations that shes followed through with whomever he/she has spoken with and what she has said needs to be done both in-person and email so that she is covering herself should there ever be any issues that arise from poor management os something this serious.

Comments: This solution is absolutely appropriate for the situation. Teachers have the responsibility of protecting their students. Knowing that the COVID 19-positive student comes into close contact with her students gives her a good reason to voice her concerns with administration. She should document her correspondence so that if anything it falls back on administration for not doing their job.
