[quote=Anonymous]Last night was the first I heard of this program for k-12. I’m happy about it but confused. They made it sound like we all had been told about it. Obviously, they need to spread the word widely for it to be effective. 
This is all I see on the APS site:

“ About the Asymptomatic Testing Program in Development
APS is also committed to identifying those without symptoms of coronavirus who may be contagious. This asymptomatic, “surveillance” testing is an important strategy for mitigating risks of infection in the classroom. APS is working with ResourcePath to design a Surveillance Testing Program and will be forming an APS COVID-19 Testing Working Group to gather stakeholder feedback regarding the type of testing to be used, what percent of a population should be tested, how frequently should testing occur to maximize the impact, and the latest CDC guidance. Other considerations include ensuring equity and responsiveness, and engagement of the community. Any student, parent or staff member who is interested in joining the working group or getting more information, email emergencymgt@apsva.us.”

Had anyone else heard about this before last night? Is the program beginning on the first day of school and do they plan to communicate this to the entire community so parents can opt in for this kids?[/quote]
