COVID-19 Testing. [TA’d 2/1/2021] The Board shall implement a multi-pronged testing plan according to the following framework:
(a) Symptomatic and Quarantine Testing: Applies to students and staff who are symptomatic or are close contacts of confirmed COVID cases. CPS will work closely with CDPH to inform families of testing locations in their neighborhoods for family members of CPS students and staff who are symptomatic or are close contacts of confirmed COVID cases. ■ Under CPS’ health screening protocols, individuals are not permitted in the building who are:
(1) Symptomatic
(a) Until they have completed their isolation period. Negative testing is not required for return after testing positive.
(2) Determined closed contacts of COVID case
(a) Until they have completed the required quarantine, as outlined by CDPH for school. ■ Symptomatic and quarantined individuals are referred to their healthcare provider, a City of Chicago testing site, or another testing site to receive a COVID test.
(b) Surveillance Testing for Prevalence: Applies to in-person, school-based staff districtwide. ■ The objective of this surveillance testing is to establish a statistically powerful estimate of the prevalence of COVID in school staff on a weekly basis. Surveillance testing will be used to track prevalence of COVID in school staff relative to the City overall, as well as trends over time. ■ Surveillance testing will be performed by testing teams, staffed in part by CPS nurses who volunteer for the assignment. No CPS nurses shall be compelled to participate as testers. All appropriate PPE, training, and equipment will be provided. ■ Each week, CPS will offer tests to 100% of the in-person employee population at each school identified in subsection (c) unless CPS has a demonstrated lack of capacity to do so, and 50% of the in-person employee population at all other schools. ■ CPS will notify the Union and the public about the number of tests administered each week and the number of positive test results, broken down by school.
COVID-19 Testing. The University of Waterloo may at any time require you to take a COVID-19 test. The test may or may not be directly administered by the University. You hereby agree to participate in the test and reasonably cooperate with the University’s testing instructions. You hereby consent to the disclosure of the test results to the University of Waterloo.

COVID-19 Testing. Used in combination with other mitigation strategies, COVID testing is an additional strategy to support safer in-person instruction. Testing may allow for early identification of cases and exclusion from school to prevent transmission. A negative test provides information only for the moment in time when the sample is collected. Individuals may become infectious shortly after having a negative test, therefore we must maintain all other public health mitigation strategies already in practice. Before students return to school sites for in-person assessments, the District shall provide voluntary COVID testing to all students and staff assigned to return to any school or worksite. The District shall continue to make free voluntary COVID testing available to students and staff during normal work hours with every effort made to ensure result turnaround time within forty-eight (48) hours of testing. In alignment with the CDPH School Guidance outlining testing cadences, the District shall continue testing students and staff at least every two (2) weeks while Sacramento County remains in the red tier or higher. Non-District staff shall be tested at the same cadence as District staff for so long as non-District personnel are providing services at the school or District site where District personnel will come into contact with non-District personnel. The District shall also adhere to CDPH School Guidance and Cal-OSHA testing requirements during an “outbreak” (3 or more COVID cases at a Cal-OSHA defined exposed workplace per 14-day period) and a “major outbreak” (20 or more COVID cases at a Cal-OSHA defined exposed workplace per 30 days) that call for immediate testing and weekly tests for employees during an outbreak, and immediate testing and twice weekly testing for employees during a major outbreak, among other measures. Symptomatic and response testing will be provided as needed or indicated.
COVID-19 Testing. The University may at any time require the Resident to take a COVID-19 test. The test may or may not be directly administered by the University. The Resident agrees to participate in the test and reasonably cooperate with the University’s testing instructions. The Resident hereby consents to the disclosure of the test results to the University.
