Set to begin a hybrid learning model next week, Indian Prairie Unit District 204 is looking ahead to possible COVID-19 screening and vaccination strategies to support its reopening plans.
The voluntary surveillance test would not be diagnostic, but it could help identify potential virus cases among staff members and students in some grade levels, Superintendent Adrian Talley said this week. Other nearby districts, including Naperville Unit District 203 and Wheaton Warrenville Unit District 200, are implementing similar screening procedures this month.
District 204 school board members are expected to hear a presentation Jan. 25 about the testing program, including the terms of a proposed contract and details pertaining to who will qualify.
