Updated Guidance Regarding Masking with a COVID Exposure
Masking Remains Strongly Recommended
(March 14, 2022) -- The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is aligning with updated guidance from California Department of Public Health for K-12 Schools in California on isolation and quarantine recommendations in school settings. These updates went into effect on March 12, 2022.
For those ending isolation (after a positive test):
-
Students with COVID-19 who are released early from isolation are strongly recommended to wear a highly protective mask around others for 10 days after the positive test.
-
Per Cal/OSHA COVID19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards, staff with COVID-19 who are released early from isolation continue to be required to wear a highly protective mask in the workplace around others for 10 days after the positive test.
Contact tracing:
- Group tracing is the recommended approach for responding to school exposures over individual contact tracing to minimize disruptions to in-person education. (We will send exposure notices classroom at a time)
-
Students with an exposure in a classroom setting or on a sports team are strongly recommended to wear a highly protective mask around others for 10 days after the last exposure date.
-
Per Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards, staff with an exposure continue to be required to wear a highly protective mask in the workplace around others for 10 days after the last exposure date.
-
Students with an exposure are strongly recommended to test within 3-5 days after the last exposure date. The exception is students with a COVID-19 positive test in the past 90 days
At this time, Da Vinci Schools will require masking at Exhibition.
The Visitor Policy will remain in effect requiring visitors to Da Vinci campuses to show proof of vaccination or a negative test from the past 72 hours.
