“#Frustrated parents balking at DOE’s coronavirus testing app<\/a>roach<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Parents are getting testy about the Department of Education\u2019s approach to coronavirus monitoring in city schools.<\/p>\n

The DOE \u2014 which had planned to start randomly testing kids for COVID-19 in schools this week \u2014 will not allow lab results from private family doctors.<\/p>\n

In addition, the department will not let parents be present during coronavirus tests administered inside DOE schools to \u201creduce the risk of COVID-19 being introduced into the building.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that this may feel scary, particularly for younger children,\u201d the DOE said in guidance provided to parents. \u201cOur trained staff will ensure the testing is performed swiftly, gently, and in a positive environment for all children.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DOE plans to randomly test 20 percent of every school\u2019s student blended learning population each month to guard against coronavirus outbreaks.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor myself and many others, having an incompetent DOE, which has been wrong about so much since the pandemic began, administer a medical test to my child was never in the cards,\u201d said City Councilman Joe Borellli.<\/p>\n

A member of Community Education Council 28 in Queens said that families were becoming increasingly uneasy with the DOE\u2019s testing procedures.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a family is more comfortable with their own doctor doing the test, a licensed professional, they should be able to do so,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The city\u2019s coronavirus testing regime was upended Tuesday after Gov. Cuomo ordered outright school closures in areas with high COVID-19 levels and mandatory weekly testing for schools in sections with lesser elevations.<\/p>\n

It was not immedia<\/a>tely clear how the new testing dictates would impact DOE schools as a whole.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
