The proposal was discussed at a recent Gresham-Barlow School Board meeting and greeted with skepticism.
Director Kris Howatt said that at a meeting with state officials and educators where the student self-test plan was outlined, we had a high level of disbelief that was going to be something that was actually going to be practical and possible.
Gresham-Barlow Superintendent Katrise Perera said that because of liability and other issues, I would not volunteer our staff or students to participate in those types of things.
Perera said at another meeting of agency and school officials, the self-test proposal was a bone of contention.
