FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Several Valley school districts are using COVID-19 surveillance testing to help keep students and staff safe in the classroom.
Kids aren t the only ones taking tests these days in local schools. Staff members are now regularly checked for COVID-19. What they required is once we were open, we had to determine and test 10% of our employees that are face to face with students, said Clovis Unified Associate Superintendent of Human Resources, Barry Jagger.
This practice, known as surveillance testing, is a requirement for schools to hold in-person classes. Each district does it a bit differently. We select a date, I send out an email informing our staff that it s a great time to volunteer to take a test, the date, the time, and then we get sign-ups, said Roberto Gutierrez, the Deputy Superintendent of Kings Canyon Unified. Usually, we have quite a bit of staff wanting to volunteer.
