McFarland School District students considered close contacts of a person who tests positive for COVID-19 are no longer required to quarantine.
The School Board unanimously approved the change to COVID-19 protocols Monday. For most schools in Dane County, students who are considered close contacts and are unvaccinated are required to quarantine for 14 days from exposure or receive a test one week after exposure to allow them to return a few days earlier.
In a letter to Dane County school superintendents last month, Public Health Madison & Dane County director Janel Heinrich encouraged districts to continue quarantine practices.
