Some schools choose to staff their testing program in-house with existing staff, others rely entirely on CIC’s team, and many use a combination. Resource Guide: Identifying Your Testing Team Step 2: Testing Schedule Your testing schedule should work for your school - not the other way around - to keep disruptions to a minimum. Remember: anyone can be trained to observe or collect specimens. Weekly Testing Schedule https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb2b3f3dd1a7d142c67ff0d/1629830244319-3XT2VG0D160LOSAOXUJS/Communication+Plan.png Getting Started Step 1: Communicate the testing plan Your school community will be eager to hear about the testing plan, and they’ll have questions. Use a 3-phase communications plan to get keep your community informed ahead of launch. Template: Three Phase Communications Plan Step 2: Collect consent forms Without consent, you can’t test. CIC Health has a one-stop-shop consent form for all districts.
