As omicron becomes the latest COVID-19 twist to upend schools’ plans, several K-12 leaders shared in a virtual panel Tuesday four ways their COVID-19 testing programs successfully function: having a district testing champion, supporting school nurses, partnering with community resources and standardizing communication with families.
These leaders spoke at The Rockefeller Foundation’s Learning Network’s final virtual panel after a series of weekly meetings to review best approaches for effectively implementing COVID-19 testing in schools. The panel was held as the omicron variant spreads and becomes the dominant COVID-19 strain in the U.S.
