On September 2, 2021, the New York Department of Health (“NYDOH”) issued a Commissioner's Determination on COVID-19 requiring school districts to offer COVID screenings for students. As per the determination, schools must:

Offer screening testing for students (obtain parent or guardian consent for minors, and where otherwise required pursuant to school policy): P-12 schools are required to offer screening testing to unvaccinated students on a weekly basis in geographic areas identified by the CDC as having moderate, substantial, or high transmission rates.

The District will be utilizing the Abbott BinaxNOW COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Test and using trained personnel to collect samples. This test uses a shallow Nasal Swab (front/sides of nose) for sample collection. Participation in testing is not required for attendance for in-person instruction. This is a voluntary program offered to interested families .
