Bement Superintendent Calls Kirby Student, Teacher Rapid Testing 'Gamechanger'

A gamechanger is how the Superintendent of the Bement School district describes a rapid testing option exclusively for teachers and students in Piatt County through Kirby Medical Center.

 

Dr. Sheila Greenwood on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday discussing the transition to the cold/flu season says having rapid testing for COVID available to their students will be a 'gamechanger' in keeping them in school in what could be the most uncertain stretch of the school year amid the pandemic.

 

 

As the cold/flu season approaches, Dr. Greenwood indicates having those test results quickly is going to lessen a lot of the processes they have in place and make things much easier on knowing the exact condition of students and teachers.

 

 

Rapid testing will be available to all students in any Piatt County school district and students in the Argenta-Oreana school district starting Monday.
