In reply to: A parental decision based on NDNation replies? posted by squid

decision of what I think the school should do. Part of the problem is they sent an email about the rule without stating why the changes were being made. Has become more of an issue as they are now requiring testing of all players regardless of vaccination status and unrelated to any known exposure.

After the year and a half these kids have endured including having a classmate commit suicide last week it seems to me the school has reached a new level of stupidity in terms managing the risks. I asked not to be able to say ND nation told me it is right but to be able to present stats to the school.

Like you said, it's tough to figure out without the reasons

for changing the rule.

High school sports, like college and pros, should have a return-to-play policy for athletes returning from COVID, similar to how there are return-to-play policies for athletes returning from any injury. Such procedures might vary depending on whether the absence was due to close contact quarantine or positive isolation, severity of illness, duration of symptoms, etc. It might also vary on a sport-by-sport basis. The idea being to ease back into full-time play after a layoff.

That doesn't really help you here, especially without the reasoning behind the change, but I wouldn't assume one reason or another for a change in policy. Could be that the school wasn't following the state or local policy and just noticed, could be a change from above them, could be any number of reasons.

I commented only on the waiver idea. *
