Manassas schools propose denying students entry unless good health is verfied

Manassas City Public Schools students may be barred from going to school in the fall unless their parents verify their health.

During a July special school board meeting, Dr. Melissa Saunders, executive director of student achievement for the school division, presented a school reopening plan to the School Board. That plan, which was created by the division's school reopening task force, proposed requiring 'parents to attest daily as to the health of their children prior to entry to their respective school by completing the health survey.' If the parents refuse to do so, according to the presentation, students will be 'denied entry to the school until completed – no exceptions.' This rule would also require staff to attest to their health daily before entering their school building.
