The Sacramento City Unified School District has sent numerous notifications to families and students requesting that students who took home COVID tests over winter break submit test results. “If we all test before returning to school we can prevent the spread of COVID,” reads the SCUSD notification.
But according to Principal Andrea Egan, C.K. McClatchy did not receive a full shipment of take-home COVID tests from the Sacramento County Health Department. Elementary sites were prioritized first, but most high school students did not receive any take-home tests. “If more are shipped we will distribute upon arrival,” explained Egan.
All McClatchy students can receive free in-person testing in the pool room when students return from break on January 3.
This is an ongoing story that The Prospector will continue covering.
