(August 28, 2021, 12:05 p.m.) -- A breaking CDC report shows how quickly an unvaccinated/unmasked Bay Area teacher infected over a dozen of her students and some of their parents, apparently by reading to them in class. The teacher allegedly did so thinking some of her COVID-19 symptoms were simply allergies.
LBUSD (School Bd and management) DOESN'T require its teachers to show proof they're vaccinated against COVID-19; it requires teachers to mask but lets them "test weekly" as an alternative to vaccination. The SF Chronicle adds these details to the Bay Area infection. "...An unvaccinated Marin County elementary school teacher caused an outbreak of COVID-19 among students and parents at the school in May, according to a new report released by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The outbreak at a parochial school led to 27 total cases -- five adults, including the teacher -- and 22 students or siblings.. Additional coverage of CDC report: NBC Bay Area:

LBUSD says all of its unvaccinated students (including those under age 12 not currently authorized to receive the COVID-19 vaccine) will undergo self-administered "surveillance testing" involving anterior nasal swabs (LBREPORT.com coverage here.) Despite the more contagious COVID-19 Delta variant, LBUSD plans to reopen its classrooms on August 31, offering parents a minimum legal option for independent study (LBREPORT.com coverage here.)
