CDPH K-12 School Testing Laboratories shall also make available the services of an authorized health care provider to make assignments for test reports for the performance of tests.  Additionally, CDPH has contracted with Primary Diagnostics, Inc. and, via Primary Diagnostics, will provide patient registration services and laboratory and medical records data collection, management, storage, and reporting services.

The District will be responsible for the direct oversight of testing and shall ensure that personnel meets the training and competency criteria established for testing.  

The term of this MOU shall be from August 24, 2021, through June 1, 2022.
