CBS Dallas/Fort Worth August 18, 2021 A North Texas mother says her young daughter was exposed to COVID-19 in the classroom just a few days into the school year. She soon found out even if a student has been in close contact with someone who has the virus, they can still go to school under current state guidelines. "Kindergarten was supposed to be fun and exciting for her," said Sidra, who sent her daughter to Prairie Trail Elementary School in Flower Mound with a mask and requested a desk shield to keep her safe.
