The lack of uniformity is shocking and really isn't in the best interest of the student. As a provider, I don't know what their school policy is. They usually don't know, either. I don't have the time research every school district's policy. Plus, some schools require clearance from a neurologist or sports medicine specialist. So the parent may have just paid for a doctor's visit, but they came to the wrong doctor which always pisses them off.
Viruses don't recognize the borders of school districts so there shouldn't be thousands of different policies when there is a clear need for uniform recommendations that can be implemented at the appropriate level. But, Rand Paul has never been one for common sense.
So stupid. I like that Maryland uses county jurisdictions rather than city. Technically, each of those county boards is then an entity of that state. It’s a good, quasi-federalist system and it ensures the important decisions are only made by the state in a uniform fashion.
