Dear NYS Principals and Administrators,
As we’ve shared with you last week, New York State has procured millions of rapid, over-the-counter COVID-19 self-test kits for distribution to schools. For the next month, there will be a new section in the daily school report card survey entitled “Rapid Test Distribution Survey.” Nonpublic schools that wish to receive free rapid, over-the-counter COVID-19 self-test kits from the State must fully complete the information in this section. Rapid COVID-19 test kits will then be shipped directly to schools. This section of the survey only needs to be filled out once. The number of rapid COVID-19 test kits each school is eligible to receive has been determined based on overall school enrollment. If you don’t want to get the testing kits from the State, you can just skip that section of the survey.
Please note: this is a different program than the NYC distribution referenced in this email.
As always, feel free to reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
