I don't feel I'm doing anything that would require a renegotiation of a contract. It falls under "other duties as assigned". And really, every staff member is going above and beyond contract...

The problem we would have here (and other places I assume would too), is there are people in our community without computers and/or internet access to be able to do this. When we went virtual last...
No not really, I don't test for minor stuff like that, unless they are already a close contact. Fever, loss of taste/smell, or severe cold symptoms gets you
I've been doing these test for a couple weeks now. They are very straight forward to do and simple to learn and perform. I've done about 25 of them. For students the rule is that if they are...

At the last DOH webinar I watched, they stated the license was covered by some agreement/arrangement for all schools for this time period. Not quite sure on the logistics, but they said it was...

We are 100% in person, so I'm as busy as ever. Getting ready to start the rapid testing program whenever our shipment gets here. Getting handwashing demo's ready for the elementary. Plus all the...
Every school here in SD has been giving the option to receive the rapid tests free from the DOH. We would only administer to symptomatic students or staff and then results need to be reported daily...
I have two sets, one set is in the main office, behind the secretary's desk, in a bright yellow cabinet mounted to the wall. It isn't locked, because its either always in sight of staff, or the...
I have a similar system to the two above posters - cabinet on the wall, plastic bins from the dollar store for AM, Noon, After noon, and PRN. I also have a "no longer need" bin and a bin of empty...
My admin is handling most of it, honestly. I sit on the back to school well committee, and I've been put in charge of running the sentinal testing on staff, but that's about
I don't work at a hospital, but I was told by our DOH that if I was in full PPE (N95) while working with a student who ended up testing positive, I wouldn't be considered a close
Our state requires student records who transfer out to be kept for 5 years. If they graduate from our school, we don't keep beyond that. So what I do, is print an updated immunization record for...

I just checked today and nothing I had ordered in the Spring for PPE had shipped yet ? A quick check of amazon showed everything I needed was in stock, so I talked to my business manager and he...
I'll be back there shortly, but have been at meetings and have started getting my room(s) ready. My area was set up as a decent sized clinic (holds three cots) with a small office for me inside of...
My health office consists of a clinic part, and then a small "office" that had my desk, file cabinets, ect. So it was decided my desk and things come out into the clinic area, and my office becomes...
I have a shelf of random kids book from my own stash, then some medical/health themed picture books that I sit around the office. I have a few funko pops sitting around that often get played with by...
I just notified my admin that I have added to my budget request for next year to add masks, face shields, gowns and dedicated alcohol sanitizer station for my office. We have just finished building...
So at best, we'll be back in school May 1st which would give us 13 school days. Realistically, admin has said to be prepared not to return this year. I know many of you are in the same boat....
