School bubbles & procedures post July 19

[Laquila]

Has anyone seen anything definitive about plans for school procedures around PCR tests, bubbles and SI after July 19th?

I know most schools will have broken up by then but is the expectation that when kids go back in Sept, they won't need to isolate and PCR test for symptoms such as headaches, nausea etc? (Currently the case in our county)

Or are people expecting that only confirmed cases will need to isolate? Or their bubbles too? I know it's speculation really but I don't know whether I've missed anything about this in the news.

I will withdraw my consent for dc to be tested if this is the case I doubt I'll be the only one

Hello all, thanks for all the responses. Coincidentally I've just seen this on Twitter:

My kids are primary school age so I can't see on-site testing would happen for them. I'd be happy-ish to test them at home if cases popped up amongst their classes but Christ alive, when will we accept that at some point we just have to live with this?? I agree with all the PPs who's underlined how incredibly unfair this is on children. (I can however see a vague line of logic in terms of why we've been isolating them at all if eventually we were just going to leave them to get it - I guess isolating them will have reduced transmission/cases amongst unvaccinated adults over the past year.)

I know that anecdotally, the feeling within our school trust is that bubbles are still going to be in place from Sept onwards. (And I remember overhearing parents in Spring/Summer 2020 muttering about just keeping them off til September [2020], when it'd all be back to normal. Hah!! bitter laughter
