WEAR A MASK! New State Public Health Order Governor Gavin Newsom announced a new public health order today requiring all school staff to either show proof of full vaccination or be tested at least once per week for COVID-19. The new policy for school staff will take effect on August 12, 2021, and schools must be in full compliance by October 15, 2021. Vaccines An estimated 96% of PUSD employees are already vaccinated for COVID-19. PUSD teachers, administrators, and staff were among the first in Los Angeles County to get vaccinated through district-run mobile clinics and through our partnership with the Pasadena Public Health Department. Employees: The State’s new public health order applies immediately to all PUSD employees and PUSD- contracted employees - anyone who works directly with students. Employees have two options: show proof of full vaccination or be tested every week. Procedures for showing proof will be sent to employees by Human Resources. Employees can get the vaccine through PUSD’s Primary Health Clinic. To make an appointment, please contact the clinic at (626) 396-3600, ext 88180. Students: PUSD strongly encourages students ages 12 and older to get the vaccine as soon as possible. PUSD Health Programs and the City of Pasadena offer opportunities for vaccination. The state has not required the COVID-19 vaccine for students. Testing We’re strengthening PUSD’s already robust testing program. Employees Per this new public health order, effective imme diately all unvaccinated employees must take a weekly COVID- 19 test. Tests will be available at school sites and at the PUSD Primary Health Clinic. Students To strengthen safety measures for students, we have developed a risk-based approach to testing students in grades 6 - 12. This strategy was developed in consultation with Pasadena Public Health Department: A risk-based sample of students in grades 6 - 12 will be offered a COVID-19 PCR test (with informed parents/guardians consent). Unvaccinated student-athletes, band members, and ROTC will be required to take weekly tests, with informed parent/guardian consent. A negative test result is required to participate. This strategy captures students most at-risk of transmission because of the activities involved such as physical exertion and proximity of individuals. Get Tested! We strongly encourage all students not yet eligible for vaccination to get tested. PUSD is providing incentives for students to get tested. These include gift cards, water bottles, stickers, and drawings for gift baskets for the family. How and Where PUSD Students and Staff Can Get Tested PUSD offers COVID-19 PCR oral or nasal swab tests on campuses and at the District’s Primary Clinic, 8 a.m. - 3:30 pm. By appointment, please call (626) 396-3600, ext 88180. On PUSD campuses - starting the week of August 16 Register for testing here: https://home.color. com/covid/sign-up/start?partner=cdph094 Get vaccinated! I strongly encourage everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated to help schools safely return to in-person learning by reducing transmission risk.
