Wicked Local With participation in voluntary COVID testing among high school students remaining very low, Superintendent David Fleishman recently said testing now will be required in order to participate in all extracurricular activities. Testing statistics remained the same for North and South combined when comparing the weeks of March 22 and April 12, according to the schools. During both weeks, 2,546 students total were eligible to take the test, but only 762 did. Therefore, only 30% of the 2,546 eligible students volunteered to be tested. “In general, this type of surveillance/screened testing using the pooled methodology is most useful if 70-80% of students are participating,” said communication director Julie McDonough previously.
