Can't recall which one of you posted your sick policy which I believe was
if you send the child home sick from DC they are required to stay home for 48 hours, but if the parents keep them home it's 24 hours before they can return.
Reason I ask this, is because lets say I send a child home with a mild grade fever, but then when the child goes home later that night the child has no fever. Or if the child vomits once here and I send them home and they don't again. I can see parents getting upset that their child is not sick enough to have to stay home for 48 hours. I do understand that the 48 hours is somewhat a form of punishment on the parents part for sending their child ill, but I do know that sometimes parents honestly drop kids off and they seem perfectly fine, only to get sick hours later.
I am thinking about using this policy, however, I want to know what problems if any you have ever had with it and how do you enforce it.
Thanks in advance
