Gene from Farmington - to be clear, the 10% testing is for staff operating In hybrid rather than learning at home?

Can you clear up - once we return to small groups (not hybrid) we will need to continue to do the surveillance testing?

Also, can you explain the UPS drop - we have a hub here but the drop (store) is an hour away - which one does it have to go to?

I positive individual should not participate in surveillance testing for 90 days from their positive test.

All staff working on site participate in surveillance testing. Others may also be included, but don't count toward the 10%.

Will all this information be complied into a manual for us to use?

Only schools with in-person student services need to participate in surveillance testing. Even if an LEA has some schools that participate and some schools that don't.

Will we get copies of this information / powerpoint?

Private schools can follow the same process as public schools for Vault testing.

Testing is free to participants.

So fully remote schools do not yet have to participate in surveillance testing?

LEAs do not have direct access to test results. However, staff can provide the emails with test results.

Two weeks of surveillance testing is required prior to in-person student services.

Do we have to continue doing this if we reopen in small groups only (we didn't have to prior) - just need to know how many registration links for

There is no requirement that surveillance results are negative to open for in-person student services.

And can you please address the UPS - is it a store or a hub that is used for the return.

Is the 10% supposed to be randomly selected each week or a rotating schedule of staff?

as a pilot participant, this is super easy to do!

I must have missed this, but did you provide the link for registering in VAULT?

How will we know when it is available to all New Mexicans??

Gene from Farmington - thanks Ashley and Greg…this was a nice and informative chat.

What would be most appropriate- In our school site we will have just a couple of students who receive special education services who will be returning in January and we have varying numbers of staff members on site. Some days we may have only 5 staff present other days we may have 10? How do we determine who needs to participate in testing? Would we just count on any staff member that comes in?

What if a staff member test positive, but does not share their results?

Will this test need a physician's order?

Gene from Farmington asks - will NMPED continue to send LEAs watch list notices after 2 and 4?

Gene from Farmington - thanks Greg, we look forward to the messages

What is the process if a department in a school district has several rapid responses, but it is not a school location. Will that department be shut down?

I understand if district office staff visit schools - they should be included in the surveillance testing but is there a % requirement for district office testing?

If many of us do the test at the same time. can we send them all together? Or do they get sent separately.

Does this test kit have the availability to link to SBHC medical systems, such as eClinicalWorks? Will results only be available in the individuals email?

Will Judy Robinson’s email blast include a link that allows districts/charters to register in the system, or are we not required to register our schools in the system? Sorry if you answered this already, I hopped on 10 mins late.

confused...what is the Zoom doing. I thought we got this shipped to home. test send back?? Humm

After we give the staff member the link and they use it to register, how long does it take to get the test?

how do we know the staff member actually sent the kit back?

Thank you guys!
