USD 373 working on COVID-19 testing expansion The Kansan Newton Unified School District 373 is pursing a way to provide COVID-19 testing to staff and students as the second semester of the 2020-21 school year begins. "It will be free of charge through the end of the school year," said Superintendent Fred Van Rankin. The school district had relied on testing by Well Health, which was initially offered to the community in the Newton High School parking lot before moving to the Chisholm Trail Mall, for testing in December. However, turnaround time was an issue for district employees. The school district chose to go with to another source.
