K-12 CASE STUDY: FORT THOMAS SCHOOLS
FORT THOMAS SCHOOLS ARE GETTING THEIR KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL FASTER AND SAFER
Background
The Fort Thomas School District knew how important it was to get their kids back on campus, and to do it the right way with COVID-19 testing. However, once students and staff were back in the classroom it became apparent that waiting up to five days for test results caused additional unnecessary disruptions with attendance. Realizing that they needed a way to get faster results without sacrificing testing accuracy, they reached out to Gravity Diagnostics.
Outcome
The school district was facing a shortage of teachers, substitute teachers, and students due to them being out an extended amount of time waiting on COVID-19 test results. These absences were a significant disruption to student learning. Once Fort Thomas schools partnered with Gravity Diagnostics to complete their COVID-19 testing, they received gold-standard PCR results from Gravity Diagnostics in under 24 hours, ultimately allowing them to get back to their pre-COVID-19 capacity. The fast turnaround time minimized disruptions in attendance and allowed maximum flexibility in the number of tests required.
