Hmph. I'm still gonna hold my breath that my boy doesn't catch it
The pdf attachment I posted above says:

Contagious while symptoms are present.
Below are the symptoms:

Redness, itching, pain and discharge, depending on the cause.
Bacterial conjunctivitis can sometimes be distinguished from other forms of conjunctivitis by a more purulent (pus) discharge


However under exclusion it says:

For Childcares and Schools:

Purulent conjunctivitis(redness of eyes and/or eyelids with thick white or yellow eye discharge and eye pain): Until examined by a health care provider and approved for readmission.

Nonpurulent conjunctivitis (redness of eyes with a clear, watery eye discharge but without fever, eye pain, or eyelid redness): None, may be considered if child is
unable to keep hands away from eyes.


So to me it looks like it's pretty much up to the center to exclude or not exclude. It appears there are many loopholes and/or exceptions

I exclude. Its too contagious for my comfort.
