Starting Nov. 1, students and staff could receive free rapid antigen tests through a partnership with Concentric by Ginkgo, a company that has partnered with more than 1,000 schools in more than 15 states in the United States to get students tested, according to the company’s website.
Testing at Kiker Elementary School, Navarro Early College High School and Norman-Sims Elementary School would not be open Jan. 13 because of low rapid test supplies, according to the tweet.
Families can still visit one of the district’s eight other testing hubs from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday-Friday, or they can get tested at the Burger Activity Center through Nomi Health. Students and staff testing at school campuses must fill out a consent form, as should those choosing the Burger testing center.
