PARAGOULD, Ark. (KAIT) - Schools across Arkansas are able to test staff members for COVID-19 before entering the classroom or facility.
Earlier in the year, the Arkansas Department of Education reached out to schools to see if they’d be interested in receiving COVID-19 tests.
Greene County Tech School District did not make the initial cut but requested to be contacted if they were able to add schools in the future.
Later, GCT was contacted back to be notified they were getting the rapid tests called BinaxNOW.

PARAGOULD, Ark. (KAIT) - The Paragould School District made available an app this week that allows parents to monitor their studentâs online activity on the studentâs school-issued device.
The app is called GoGuardian Parent. Any parent or guardian of a student in the district can log in, using their email address provided to the school.
On the app, you can see the studentâs browser history and teacher interventions, or you can control when they can and cannot access the internet. There are many more options on the app.
