Stevenson-Carson to provide on-site COVID testing through Health Commons partnership
Summary
The district will partner with Health Commons and ESD 112 to provide on-site PCR and rapid COVID testing, with staff testers receiving an hour of training; tests will be ordered so staff can get immediate access if requested.
The Stevenson-Carson School District reported plans to provide school-based COVID testing through a partnership with Health Commons and regional coordination by ESD 112.
Superintendent Ingrid Colvard told the board, “SCSD will work with Health Commons to provide school-based COVID testing. ESD 112 has hired a coordinator for this testing program for our region.” The district plans to order both PCR and rapid tests so staff members who request testing have immediate access, and staff who administer tests will receive one hour of training.
The plan was presented as an operational step to support staff and athletics as state guidance evolves; the board did not record a separate vote to authorize purchases at this meeting. Follow-up and implementation details — including testing cadence, consent processes, and funding sources — were not specified in the minutes.
