Teacher’s coalition ask Gov. to create uniform policy regarding COVID-19 quarantines in schools elisfkc2 / Flickr / CC BY-SA 2.0 HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) — The Connecticut Board of Education Union Coalition sent a letter to the governor to create uniform policy for managing COVID-19 quarantines in schools. On Tuesday, the letter was sent to Governor Ned Lamont outlining the need for the uniform policy regarding how school districts should handle quarantines and leaves in all public schools. Coalition leaders say that there are too many school districts that are not following procedures established by health experts for responding to COVID-19 exposures. This goes back to the federal act that granted teachers two weeks, full pay, if they had to quarantine because of the coronavirus. That act expired at the end of the year, and no the union says some districts aren’t offering that protection in 2021.
