Mandatory COVID Testing in NYC Public Schools Effective October 1

September 1, 2020

"Beginning October 1 and recurring each month, mandatory testing in schools will be comprised of a random sample of 10%-20% [ 12 -24 TPS scholars and staff ] of a school's student and staff population. This will bolster our commitment to health and safety for everyone in our school communities. We will also share additional guidance and information on testing soon." -DOE 

"Under the new agreement (United Federation of Teachers and Department of Education), any student who refuses to be tested will be required to attend school remotely, and any staff member who fails to comply with mandated testing will be placed on unpaid leave." -UFT
