Governor Polis offering incentive for students who participate in COVID-19 testing programIn September the state will be launching a “free COVID-19 school screening testing program” for all K-12 schools to participate in across the state for the 2021-2022 school year. Here’s how it will work: Schools/ Districts can opt into the program and the state will either send them COVID-19 testing supplies and staff to administer the test depending on the option they choose. Students under the age of 18 will need parental consent to have the test done every week.

 

The governor says there are several precautions being taken by districts across the state to make sure students stay in-person this year.“Remember none of these are a silver bulletfor stopping COVID-19, so it’s some combination for the safe as possible school environment, so mask wearing, social distancing, cohorting, ventilation surveillance testing. We’re doing all of those things,” says Governor Jared Polis.

 

Governor Polis also says the state is working on an incentive program that would give out anywhere between$5 to $25dollars to families that choose to participate in this program.This project is reportedly all federally funded.
