Surveillance Screening Results

This week, we processed 265 antigen tests. Our screening included faculty, staff, children and family members from the Children’s Center and Mayim Tamid. All tests were negative. This low positivity rate in our TBS community and our local community is encouraging. Starting the week of June 21, we will be adding saliva based PCR surveillance testing as part of a statewide program funded by the Department of Early Education. Details have been sent to those enrolled this summer.
