Updates to Staff Isolation

Cal OSHA employee isolation guidance now aligns and links to CDPH Isolation Guidance, therefore staff may return from isolation once they have a negative test after Day 5, and may test repeatedly (same as students). This shift allows our staff a safe and quicker return.  The Return to Health plan Basic Isolation and Quarantine Guidance has been updated to reflect this shift.

At-Home/OTC Covid Testing Kit Distribution 

We will distribute another round of At-Home/Over the Counter (OTC) Covid Test kits to distribute to all students and staff for the month of October.  We will be sending out another round of OTC test kits before the Thanksgiving break and Winter Breaks as well. More information will follow next week.

School Required Immunizations

Health Services sends a series of communications over the summer to the guardians of students who have not met the immunization requirements for specific grades.  School sites are required to continue following up with their remaining non-compliant students. Schools are subject to state audit if students are non-compliant with immunization requirements.

• Health Services has created an “Immunization Monitoring Best Practices” guide for schools to follow, to ensure state immunization mandates are met.
