Massachusetts Dept of Education - Memo on Pooled Testing in K-12 Schools (Jan 2021) The Massachusetts Department of Education memo (January 8, 2021) outlines a statewide K–12 COVID-19 pooled PCR screening program, explaining weekly anterior nasal swab pooling with 24–48 hour results and individual follow-up testing (primarily Abbott BinaxNOW) after a positive pool. It describes a no-cost 6-week early launch with a contracted testing service provider supplying kits, logistics, training, software, and support, with optional continuation funded by federal stimulus dollars. The memo also summarizes consent requirements and clarifies that pooled results are not reported to DPH while individual diagnostic follow-up results are. primary file various external-programs-reports 2021-01-08_School Testing_Massachusetts Dept of Education - Memo on Pooled Testing in K-12 Schools.md various/external-programs-reports/2021-01-08_School Testing_Massachusetts Dept of Education - Memo on Pooled Testing in K-12 Schools.md 2021_01_08 school testing, massachusetts gdoc docx 3rd Party 1032 1594 gfile-url xfile-github-download-url pdf-gdrive-url pdf-github-url github-markdown-url github-markdown-download-url web-pdf-url web-slides-url youtube-url web-url
