Nancy Naylor Deputy Minister Subject
Memorandum to: Directors of Education Secretary/Treasurers of School Authorities From: Nancy Naylor Deputy Minister Subject: COVID-19: School Testing Pilot Program Building off information shared in the Ministry of Education’s August 3rd memo, COVID- 19: Health, Safety and Operational Guidance for Schools 2021-22, we are writing with an update on a pilot program for COVID-19 testing initiatives that are being offered on a targeted basis to Ontario secondary schools. Overview: School Testing Plan The government’s testing strategy in schools is grounded in guidance from the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health and supports close collaboration between local public health units, schools, and Ontario Health. When an individual is identified as needing testing under provincial guidance, where possible, they will be offered a testing approach that is as minimally invasive as possible (e.g. nasal, mouth and saliva testing). School Boards should be working with their local Public Health Units to ensure all students know where local testing options exist. When tests are needed, they will be made quickly accessible through multiple approaches (e.g. assessment centres and community testing sites), with a focus on reducing barriers to access and recognizing the unique needs of certain communities and geographies. Operationalizing the school testing plan could include deployment of mobile vendors to school sites and making take-home self-collection kits available in certain schools. School Testing Strategy: Pilot Initiative for Targeted Ontario Schools Starting in September, as part of the overall school testing strategy in schools, the Ministry of Education (EDU)—in close partnership with Ontario Health, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Government and Consumer Services—will initiate a pilot program in targeted secondary schools.
