Some parents in Ankeny, Iowa are frustrated after receiving a letter July 28 that the Ankeny Community School District will not require students to quarantine if they have been exposed to a person who has tested positive for COVID-19.

“At this time, our public health authorities have informed us that the district may not quarantine students,” said the letter from Erick Pruitt, who began as district superintendent in July. “We will continue to collaborate with the Iowa Department of Public Health and the Polk County Health Department to ensure our actions are aligned with their direction. We recognize that this guidance is subject to change. Please refer to the Iowa Department of Public Health for the most recent guidance.”

Ankeny is the sixth-largest district in the state with more than 12,000 students and 2,285 employees, according to the district website.

LaKeshia Richmond of Ankeny is a mother of three children. The family chose virtual learning for their kids last year.

1. All the fault of a very ignorant governor.

It doesn’t get stupider than Kim Reynolds.

She doesn’t believe science. Last year, she literally said Dr. Fauci didn’t know anything.

2. Just had a conversation with a former Iowan

who now resides in Minnesota. He said it's getting harder and harder to admit that his home state is Iowa.
