WESTFIELD Westfield Academy and Central School officials say they are resolved to be “proactive” by seeking consent forms for COVID-19 rapid testing in the event that the area should be designated a yellow zone, board of education members learned at their regular meeting Jan. 11.
Michael Cipolla, Westfield superintendent, told board members that there has been no indication that Westfield will be designated a yellow zone, in which case the district would be required to test 20% of its in-person population, including students and staff during a two-week period.
“We have to be prepared in the event New York State would designate Westfield as a yellow zone,” Cipolla said. “I think it’s time to be proactive and gather consents for testing.”
