If your district or school has already submitted the opt-in form and would like to change your program option selection, please email K12COVIDTesting@dhhs.nc.gov for assistance.
Flexibility is a key part of the testing program – both when opting in and as the school year progresses. When schools or districts opt into the testing program, they identify a testing option that meets their needs at the present time and, if applicable, discuss a testing plan with the assigned vendor. Testing needs may change over the school year as community and state levels of COVID-19 spread changes, as discussed in NCDHHS K-12 Testing Program Guidance. Having a testing plan in place allows you to access state resources and be prepared as conditions evolve in the upcoming school year. Since testing programs respond to current conditions there is no opt-out protocol required.
