This was required of both vaccinated and unvaccinated students.According to her mother who spoke anonymously to The Post Millennial, her daughter was at a practice for the public school's volleyball team and texted her that she was being asked to put on an ankle monitor. ...The mother spoke to an employee in the school office, as well as a coach and was informed there was a meeting last week discussing the ankle monitoring program for unvaccinated teens. The program was allegedly designed for contact tracing in the event of a positive COVID test of a student.The TraceTag device used by the school was made by a company called Triax. According to their website, the device was created for the purpose of "maintaining social distancing guidelines" and to provide "real-time insight into whether these guidelines are being observed" for construction and other manufacturing businesses, but makes no mention of school use on the website. ...

Pierce County high school requiring tracking monitors in practice for some athletesBy Jon ManleyUpdated August 24, 2021 03:46 PMThe News TribuneEatonville High School is requiring some student-athletes and coaches to wear tracking monitors during practices. The monitors are intended to be a way to contract trace in the event of a positive COVID-19 case, to measure players’ proximity to others during practices and how long they were near them.In the event there’s a positive COVID-19 case, coaches and administrators will have instant data on which players would potentially need to quarantine.The monitors are being used for high contact and moderate indoor contact sports. Moderate contact indoor sports include volleyball, while high contact sports include basketball and wrestling. Football and soccer, though outdoor, are also considered high-contact sports.The Eatonville School District said in a statement that all the participants of those sports are wearing the monitors, regardless of their vaccination status, contrary to rumors that were swirling around social media Tuesday. ...The Eatonville School District said parents were informed with an invitation to a parent meeting, communication from the coach of their sport and a parent consent form.
Can you imagine the psychological damage - probably permanent - that has been inflicted on children over the past 18 months over this virus?
Eatonville High School reinstituted COVID contact tracing after initially pausing the program due to privacy concerns.Student-athletes in the high contact sports of football and volleyball wore ankle bracelets during practices. The coaching staff did the same, all regardless of vaccination status. This was done to stop blanket quarantines for an entire team if a student or staff member contracted COVID.But after a report that included some significant factual errors, the school paused the program to regroup with parents. After a vote, parents overwhelmingly supported the program, and it’s now been reinstated.Under the contract tracing protocol, school staff would see which students or staff came in close enough contact with someone who tests positive for COVID. Under this plan, those students would be quarantined after exposure, instead of every player. The school and parents viewed it as an innovative way to cut down on unnecessary quarantines, which keeps kids both in school and on the team for, at least, practice. ...
