  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 should share her concerns with administration, show them with a YouTube video how students in other classes were exposed to the virus, and should be contacted. She could also contact the parents of the children in her class, and tell her coworkers.

Comments: I do not think this is the best solution for the situation. Showing administration a youtube video is not the best idea and could come across negatively as well as being disrespectful by going around and telling anyone without properly notifying administration.

Comments: I do not think that going over the administrations heads to the parents is a good idea. This shows weakness in the leadership roles within the school.

Comments: It is never a good idea to call the parents without going through the proper chain of command. That is the easiest way to lose your job. The board of education would have been a better option than contacting the parents after the principal said not to.

Comments: This is not what I would do. I don't think this solution is helpful because I do not believe that administration would respond well to being shown a YouTube video about the virus.

Comments: Instead of filming the students, which can have separate consequences, collaborate with the other teachers whose students also go to the PE and Art class. Collectively bring it to administration's attention.
