The recommendations are:  1. Expand funding to ensure schools can access tests, hire additional staff, and contract with vendors as needed to implement testing. 2. Continue to invest in research and development of testing solutions that are convenient for schools to use. 3. Provide incentives such as paid sick leave for teachers and families to participate in testing and isolate as needed. 4. Promote the use of standardized metrics and data platforms to support decision-making. 5. Provide resources to strengthen state and local health departments so they’re equipped to help schools design testing programs and respond to positive tests. At SchoolInfo, we recognize the importance of keeping students safe from the Coronavirus. It's why we created  COVID-19 screening functionality in our customers' branded mobile apps. To determine which students and staff need to be tested for the virus, it is important to first understand who has been exposed or is exhibiting symptoms.  Learn more about how SchoolInfo can provide the tools you need to stop the spread of COVID in your community, right from your app, [here](https://blog.schoolinfoapp.com/screener).    Tags: [COVID Screening](https://blog.schoolinfoapp.com/blog/tag/covid-screening) [Back to Blog](https://blog.schoolinfoapp.com/blog) ## Related Articles ## [Time Is Running Out to Launch a New App for Back-to-School](https://blog.schoolinfoapp.com/blog/time-is-running-out) "Time is running out for what?"
