In my son's Brooklyn school, 2 Rebbeim recently tested positive. The 6th grade Rebbe's class was notified and stayed home yesterday. So far so good.
Apparently word didn't get out to much of the 7th grade (the school left it to the Rebbe to call the parents, and more than half the class showed up yesterday. Instead of sending then home to quarantine, the school decided that there's no danger since they're asymptomatic and put them together with the healthy 7th grade, but moved them to a larger beis medrash instead of their normal classroom.
When I heard about this, I was speechless. DW called a parent in the class with the sick Rebbe to ask for more details about when he tested positive, and to my utter dismay, she said that this was the first she was hearing that her son's Rebbe had Covid - even though he tested positive last Thursday!
That means that the boys in that class innocently went to their shuls on Yom Kippur, completely oblivious that their Rebbe had tested positive and they should be home in quarantine instead of in shul where they were quite possibly infecting everyone around them.
And this is after speaking to the principal twice this month to share our concerns and being assured that any class with a positive case will be quarantined, and that all parents will be immediately notified. At this point our trust in the hanhala is 0.
I'm realistic and don't expect our mosdos to do everything exactly as spelled out by DOH and DOE, but how is this okay, and why isn't a school that's actively endangering its families getting shut down? Am I naive and is shtick like this going on elsewhere? Other than taking DS out of school, any other suggestions or recourse?
