The board for Williston Public School District No. 1 voted 4-1 Friday to start offering rapid COVID-19 tests to employees.
The state announced a pilot program last month to have districts offer the BinaxNOW test, which can offer results in about 15 minutes.
âIt would only involve testing employees of District 1,â Lynn Douglas, district nurse, told school board members during a special meeting Friday, Dec. 11.
The tests canât be used on students, and will only be used for employees who want to take the test and arenât showing symptoms of COVID-19.
âIf they are experiencing symptoms they should not be at work,â Douglas said.
