K-12 COVID Testing Program
K-12 COVID Testing Program
TEST BASICS PCR Anterior Nose Swab will be collected for Covid-19 testing. Participants will be taught to self-swab with LSUHS staff supervision. Actual test takes less than 1 minute. Samples are tested individually at LSUHS Lab in Shreveport. Results are reported the next business day by midnight. Testing will begin after the first week of school and scheduled with each principal.
TEST MATERIALS LSUHS provides all materials needed for testing: PPE (masks & gloves for testing team);
test kits (swabs, test tubes, barcodes, etc.); tablet computers for documentation.
PERSONNEL Each testing team includes two nurses and two techs who will travel remotely from school
to school. Each region has a Regional Lead Nurse, stationed at the Regional Office: Region 5-Lake
Charles; Region 6-Alexandria; Region 7-Shreveport; and Region 8-Monroe. Shreveport is also the location of the lab and program administration. Program Administration includes Dr. John Vanchiere, Program Director and Dr. Jennifer Deason, Program Coordinator.
PROGRAM LOGISTICS Registration is open to K-12 students and school staff and is completed on Color online
platform. Paper based registration will be available, as needed. Testing can take place in a designated location with the testers going to the testing team
or the testing team can go from class to class with a mobile testing station. Testing will ideally take place Monday-Thursday, beginning before school and ending
before noon. Test tubes are pre-labeled for more seamless and timely completion. Testing team will deliver test samples to a courier who will transport samples daily to
LSUHS lab. Test results will be available by midnight of the next day, reported through Color online
platform. If a test is positive, parent(s) and the regional Office of Public Health will be notified to
conduct contact tracing so necessary individuals can quarantine. One may opt in or opt out at any time with a 30 day lead time for the scheduling change.
