Shannon Silver had planned to take her family on a trip from her home in Connecticut to visit relatives in Ohio just before the start of the school year for her two children.
But she and her husband reversed course when people traveling from Ohio were added to a list of those who must quarantine for 14 days upon entering Connecticut. That requirement might have meant her 10-year-old son would miss the first day of sixth grade at St. Matthew School in Bristol.
"We weren't going to do that, especially at the beginning of the school year," Silver said. "Plus, he really didn't want to miss the last two weeks of summer by having to quarantine."
More at link. One can only hope the quarrantine requirements give parents another 2 weeks to come to their senses & keep their kids home for online learning during pandemic!
