As the new term begins and Covid cases soar, BBC Scotland looks at the issues facing schools.
Frequently, if there is one positive staff member there will be more within that building, while other schools where community rates are lower, could, in theory, be totally untouched.
The bar is high for this - schools need to prove they are under threat of having to shut their doors and the teacher needs to volunteer to do it.There are a number of things that pupils are being asked to do to help schools stay open. Pupils are also being asked to take a lateral flow test the night before, or morning of, the first day back and then take them twice weekly after that. Pupil take-up of voluntary testing was low in previous terms.
In the autumn, it was thought the rules around mask-wearing in class might be changed, but the government held firm on the rules amid rising cases. This looks unlikely to change anytime soon.We know, by now, how important ventilation is in helping to stop the spread of Covid.However, not every classroom has one and only half of councils are planning to have a monitor in each space, with the other half moving them around at different times.
