COVID 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 Testing. Highline's COVID test team is trained and available to test Highline staff and students. The COVID test team can be sent to a school or worksite upon being informed of a positive COVID case. The team can test students and staff who were exposed. The tests are available to any staff or student who may have been exposed to COVID. Testing is not mandatory. The COVID response and testing team will continue to work with schools and sites when impacted by COVID to determine contact tracing, who needs to quarantine and when they can return. HEA and HSD will continue to discuss testing models as additional research about testing model effectiveness emerges.

Regardless of vaccination status, the District shall strongly encourage all employees, all students, and all volunteers who regularly visit campuses to participate in weekly COVID testing provided by the District or, subject to public health regulations, may submit weekly results from COVID-19 tests administered by an agency other than the one utilized by the District.
